This is my very first entry as a newbie to photography. Taken when I was practicing slow shutter speeds with my new Sunpac Tripod. I was shooting the falls when this kid just jumped into the scene. I am using Photoshop for editing my images. I used the rope thingy to perform the selection process. I also tried to use the painting tool to remove some of the blue outline but it was very tricky. I used this pointy finger thing which did a good job. Critques, I am still trying to learn the photography terminologies here... and to the el cheapos out there.. dont go cheap on your tri pods, the tripod is our friend. I got a Sunpack 5800 tripod at a reasonable $29. I had nightmares with my cheap $12 tripod.

Very cute shot. It's so hard to keep a child still when you want to leave the shutter open for awhile. Sometimes I'll ask my 5-year-old to lean on something, such as that rock, which will keep her from moving around too much. You'd think they could sit still for just 1/10th of a second! :-)
Excellent choice of picture to use in this challenge. Wonderful job of desaturating the entire background and excellent workmanship with the subject. The suject seems a little soft. That could be a real plus when matted and framed. Rated 9.
Cute. I probably would have desaturated the blue a touch just so it didn't contrast SO much, but that's more of a personal preferance I think. The focus seems a little soft, but it's a nice photo.
Nicely done, recommend a smaller aperture and faster shutter speed however, seeing as the little girl is slightly out of focus, probably due to movement, (little kids are notorius for that) :D Good idea, and nicely implemented though, just a little on the technical side would've made the difference for this shot.
