Standing out of the sun

Liz, this is not quite fair. I mean, what if we say what we really think, and then they turn out to be your daughters?

 

Nice shot, though.

Haha, Lannie. Actually the one on the left is my daughter.

Well, there you are. . . .

 

Is that some kind of tent entrance that they are standing under?

 

--Lannie

It's a cabana, with curtains you can pull up.

Interesting shot, Liz! Were you on vacation with them?

Please comment.

I like it, very good!

I would have added a black stroke and framed it with white frames!

Many thanks for stopping by. We took these two on a trip to Punta Cana, my daughter and her friend. Both very nice girls, just trying not to get burned, pouring out sunscreen.

 

Pierre, I tried your idea, but couldn't get it to work for me. I'd love to see what you can do.

A fun shot Liz, has a sense of humour, as a way to be carful. You very well composed that situation.

What I notice is the very well control over the light. Not always easy at a snap.

Thank you for your nice comments. By the way, they never knew I took this!

Fun Image, Liz...what a great eye you have to catch this!! Nice! lauren

With this as a beginning, I could see you doing very interesting things with street shooting. A lot of elements came together here for you, wit, charm, black and white, great compositional arrangement, and the right timing. Brings a smile.

 

Interestingly, you don't have that many people shots, compared to your more colorful and lively, more geometric images, so it stands out in your portfolio as very real and spontaneous, yet it seems to fit right in as well, probably because of the way you handled it and the clear black and white contrast. You could probably put together a folder centered around this one and the piano keys and explore some interesting visual thematics.

That comment is a tremendous commentary for me. I would like to do more with this genre, but it is tough to learn. I need to study "the greats" more before I can figure it out.

Liz,

 

This picture stands out in your portfolio of colorful images. Lovely tones and composition. Hope to see more.

... very good capture ... beautiful B&W ...

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Pepper and Salt.... :-)

 

A common view that is so well presented... excellent! Mike

 

Many thanks for taking the time to comment, Michael.

One question Liz.. Is either one of them up for adoption? and umm.. Nice shot, by the way :-) I couldn't resist after reading the first two comments.. lol.

Thank you, Haig, for stopping by. No adoption papers - yet.

Liz, the...clever hunter! Brava!

Maurizio, again and again you pay attention to my images! I'm so grateful.
