Sounds like there's a general "grass phobia" going on in the comments here! LOL
Next time you go to take a shot.....take your lawn mower with you, will ya? (evil grin)
Actually, I really think this is a really, really nice shot! It gives us the perspective of being IN the grass with the girls. I really like the rather "impromptu" sort of gathering here. It's just what a group of girls that age would do.....gather in bunches, lay in the grass and be silly! Good shot! Should have done MUCH better than it did....but, I guess "grass phobias" win out! ;)
The blade of grass over the face of the girl on the left is pretty distracting, but other than that I love the mood and the angle. Deserved much better than what it got :)
The groundlevel angle here really helps. As much as I am liking the colours here (nothing too pretentious) I would like to of seen this with a bit more contrast, thus meulating those early day colours shots from the late 60s, early 70s. would of really taken this shot back a few years.. overall a strong entry and I reckon it should finish well.. 7
Personally, I just don't like this angle for a group picture. If it were a little higher, the girl inthe middle would be more visible and the girl on the right wouldn't have the top of her head cut off. Good focus though.
Nice thematic shot, although the very fashionable sunglasses do not fit in, but that's just a detail. Too bad there are some blown whites here and there in the pic, but otherwise fine. (7)
