Challenge:Blue (Classic Editing) Camera:Canon PowerShot G1 Location: Cape Town , South Africa Date: Dec 1, 2002 Aperture: 8.00 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/1000 Date Uploaded: Dec 1, 2002
This is an excellent photo and perfect for the challenge. The subject is great, focus is sharp, and the framing is very appealing. I enjoy how the subject fills the frame.
I have only two comments. One, the photo is overexposed a bit. The glare on the straps is distracting, and you lose a lot of detail in the sand. Granted, on a beach in the middle of the summer sun there's not a whole lot of control you've got. The other comment is the color saturation. While I know the challenge was "Blue," it seems like maybe you bumped up the blues in this photo a bit too much? It's soooo vibrant that it almost looks faked.
Overall, an excellent entry. I truly enjoyed this image.
I like this quite a bit. However I don't think you needed to saturate the blue as much as you did. It is clean and simple and the straight overhead angle works very well with this shot.
*grrr* I envy you for the warm weather ;-) It's a very nice photo. I like the contrast of the colours and the texture of the sand. I seems a bit overexpsured because in the lower left corner the sand is very bright.
This is definitely different, I must say. Very clear and bright and sharp focus. What BLUE flip flops. Doesn't seem like Christmas though. I'll take mine, thank you. Good photo. Not a "wow" but a good solid technically right one. PTL 7
This is a very eye catching shot. I loved it as I skimmed the thumbnails also. Nice shot....stunning! It would make a good travel poster. Bravo!!!! Justine.
I like the contrasts here... the shoes could have been a little clearer, look slightly blurry, and the sand looks burnt out in a few places. Nice idea though... and very striking blue! Lucky you... much warmer then where I am . Good luck!
