Three's A Crowd

Comments welcomed. Thank you for viewing.

Far too bright, but I really like the composition... maybe try turning you're exposure compensation down a bit. I'm assuming its the shadows on the sand that are throwing the camera's sensor's off...

Excellent idea and composition. I agree that the contrast seems to be blown out (on my monitor). But, it does have that 'sunny' feel to it though :) Interested to know your reason for the placement of the person in the the left of the frame and how this ties in with the buckets. Do you think the pink bucket is too close to the edge or did you do that delibrately to add that sense of 'displacement'? Well executed overall :) M

Michael- There were actually three children and the girl in the water was the third. The other two went off to play down the beach. Those were their buckets. It's supposed to be about that old saying "Three's a crowd" and she's supposed to be the left out one. And you are right about the third bucket. Thank you for taking the time out to comment.

Ah, now it becomes very clear. I knew there was a correlation between the 'lonely' girl and the buckets, but could not figure it out ;) By the way, many of your works have this wonderful 'at the beach' feel to the colour treatment and contrast levels. Would be very interested to know what sort of post processing you do to get this effect. Till later, M
