Weekly Photo Challenge: Together
After some feedback I have recropped the image to end up with this…
That’s lovely …
Thank you !!
Very nice pitcure! Love it!
That is great to hear Britten !!!
A small teardrop in my eye! So touching :’)
Thank you – it was a surprising moment – the sweetness of the gesture from a Dad to his daughter.
Absolutely stunning shot! Love it!
*hugs*
Thanks – you are always so encouraging.
A double whammy, love the people but the trees are together as well. perfect capture
Hey Gilly – that struck me too when I looked at it. I knew that I wanted to post this image because of the father/daughter moment…but when I saw the trees I realised it was exactly what I wanted.
Great photo – the togetherness mimicked (sp?) by the two trees above them.
Thank you – that is lovely to hear that you think so.
Jo, Nice photo and nice effect around the outside…
Thanks Sue – I wanted to enclose them in the photo…glad you liked it.
Great photo. Like the black & white background a lot.
Thanks – I did that because I thought it highlighted the people rather than the scenery – very glad to hear you liked it.
Terrific capture all around. One suggestion. The main subjects are almost exactly centered between the top and bottom of the frame. Maybe a little more cropping at the bottom to slightly off set them would work.
Thanks Rick…actually I did look at that. But problems with my computer wouldn’t let me adjust the image until today. I think your suggestion is a good one. Thanks for mentioning what you think…I really love to hear when people have ideas that might make something I do better. I also wanted to get rid of the house…so I have done some cropping. What do you think ???
Looks terrific! I prefer this image. This tighter crop focuses the viewer more on the two subjects, plus adding the vignette around the image makes it more so! Good job (-:
Blur the background – Another step (In a future shot) that would make the two subject stand out even more by blurring the background, especially the two trees. This would require a different F/stop, like f/4.5, etc. I always take a series of f/stop images because you really can’t tell much from viewing the camera LCD.
What you are seeking is to eliminate anything in the background that might be a distraction. You don’t need this for every image of couse. For me, the two trees are a distraction (Just like you saw with the house.) because my eyes keeps going there. Blurring them, eliminates that.
Sorry to ramble. It is the photographer in me that desires to provide helpful feedback in the hopes that they can create picture perfect images. And this second image is very close to that! I really like the 2nd version, but I’ve already said that (-:
Thank you Rick – it is so great to get critique/advice as I am just starting to get back in to taking images, after years of grabbing the camera for a quick snap. Sorry but I had to giggle when you talked about different F/stops…the only cameras I have are a phone camera (which is pretty darn amazing for a phone camera) and a point and shot Lumix.
Love it…you’ve given us a together-two-fer! not only are the father and daughter together, those trees are, as well.
Thanks – love that you like it and that you noticed the trees – I wondered if anyone would.
Lovely!
Thank you !!!
What can i say excellent post as always Jo,Thumbs up
Thanks Jake…you’re always so nice about what I do !!!
A striking photo.
~Anne
Thank you Anne. I was really touched by that moment between them…and so happy to have caught it.
Beautiful – two times together in one capture – the man and the girl; the two trees – awesome!
Thank you !!!
I was kind of happy myself when I saw the trees.
Poignant and sweet!
Thanks…that is exactly what that moment felt like when I saw it !
Great capture Jo! Cropping to get rid of the house? I thought that’s what photoshop was for.
Photoshop – who can afford that ???
No I have three free ones on the computer and fiddle between them…hehehe
Great captures and wonderful editing, Jo!
Thanks Theresa – your opinion is always appreciated on my shots. I love it when you like something.
this is great – and the edited version is awesome! thanks for sharing.
Thanks !!
I do think the edited version makes the photo much better. I am learning as I go – it has been a long while since I really tried to get into taking photos with a purpose rather than just click for the moment.
