A beautiful carefree moment! It captures all the innocence and freedom of youth, waltzing through a wide & open field with a lovely breeze to cool the warm summer day.
Awesome... this was done while I was away and completely missed it! It's gorgeous as is, but if you'd had her face the other way (I know how difficult that can be with children) you'd have had the blue with this one!
Congrats on your high finish and score! This image is absolutely GORGEOUS in every way, from your adorable model, the capture of a magical moment, to the beatiful tones and processing. LOVE it!!
Lovely shot jutilda! It's great to see such a beautifully simple, perfect, emotion filled shot in amonst the the standard colourful eye candies. This one should definitely be hanging on someone's wall. :)
hey judy .. great to see you getting a score that reflects your unique and excellent style and artistic ability .. its a fantastic photograph .. congratulations on 18th place in the free study .. mackenzie's lookin' good on your profile page . !! :)
I love your photos of her. You can tell that you are inspired by her and you do an amazing job of capturing the childlike wonder that we all seem to lose as we age. It's beautiful!
This photo absolutely takes my breath away. It radiates a carefree summer day of childhood, and makes me want to stare at it and feel at peace for hours!
THIS is SOOO beautiful!! the hair and tall grass and soft sepia coloring almost black and white tone to it is just....amazing! it shows innocence and exploration and the wind and is a great rule of 3rds (as well as having that horizon line so beautifully centered! -- the border is great; the stray hair on the back of her head might have been better off cloned but I don't think that is legal in advanced editing(?) no doubt about it tho this is a 10 from me :-) great capture! :-)
