This photo feels a bit surreal and abstract in nature. There's enough in focus to know what it is, but as a viewer I feel like I can't quite reach the crayons - they're on the edge of clarity and I really want to include them with my viewing experience. They keep slipping away.
Hmmm. I was just getting ready to make a technical comment about this shot being a tad underexposed and how the lensbaby (in my limited experience) needs a +ev at times - then I thought about the mood that currently exists with this photo. The slight underexposure kind of gives it a sad and moody feel - like someone or something is missing. Perhaps we're waiting on the child to come back and play some more? It would be interesting to see this photo pushed with curves or bump the histogram a little...
A fun and compelling shot Ken! |
