thiszme 0 Posted June 18, 2006 This shot is from the Zoo in Greenville, SC. The shot is original untouched. I hate the cardboard in the shot but couldn't do anything about it. So I looked at doing a crop of just the mother and baby's faces but I wanted to leave the baby holding its mothers arm in the shot. No matter how I look at it there will be some cardboard in the shot. So do I leave the whole shot like it is or crop and lose some of the mother Orangutan? Or does the cardboard just ruin the whole shot? Thanks for any comments. Jeffery Link to comment
sarah_martin2 0 Posted June 18, 2006 I think its a strong picture, the card board doesnt make or break the photo.Great job. Link to comment
mary fran 0 Posted June 18, 2006 I'm a beginner but I can say my eye was drawn to the baby first. The cardboard doesn't catch your eye, so doesn't disturb the photo. To my eye it offered contast to the mothers hand highlighting the detail. Love the photo. Link to comment
sray1 0 Posted June 20, 2006 To me, this is an amazing mother-and-child shot. Look at the hands on the mom- very human-like! Really settles the evolution question for me, but if it's true that humans and apes are merely "descended from a common ancestor", then I would think that was a real ape-looking ancestor. Sorry for the digression, love the picture- light, detail, crop. Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted June 21, 2006 Jeffrey, I think you worried too much. This is beautiful! Link to comment
thiszme 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Thanks for the comments. I really do liked the photo and just would have preferred that the cardboard was gone but I just couldn't bring myself to cutting out the mothers hand. The nails look like she just left the nail salon. Well again thans for the feedback. Jeffery Link to comment
