black and white Hanging-out

The way the trees appear after you treatment of this image is stunning, I am so enamored with them I hardly notice what else is transpiring in the image, sorry, I'm a man, I Easley get distracted.

I like the overall look and feel of this image. I might however crop in a little to have the kids a little larger in the frame. Also it looks just a tad out of focus.

Madeleine, lovely image, beautifully composed and processed. Any softness seems intentional, to me, and essential to the mood. The kids, however, seem static, almost an afterthought. The image might even be stronger without them. Or, perhaps, if the were walking towards or away from the camera, or interacting with one another.
