Boardwalk

Another 'moment of opportunity' seized when I suddenly saw the possibilities unfolding ahead of me. Gotta love those little P&S cameras. I like the graphics here with the diagonals receeding to an unseen vanishing point & my older grandson's bright red shirt acting as a focal point, the red rails of the wagon reenforcing it. Your comments\critiques will be gratefully received. Best, LM.

Great mood and lines, Len! The leading boy looking back over his shoulder adds the "gesture" that Jay Maisel speaks of. Easier said than done in my opinion!

Greg, Thanks for dropping in. The 'gesture' was probably more luck than design but I agree that it does elevate this one quite a bit. Incidentally, that was a super interview with Jay Maisel. Thanks again for that. Best, LM.

Looked like a Norman Rockwell (fortunately, no relation to Ken Rockwell!) painting. Beautiful and tasteful in nature.

 

Arthur, Thanks for your thoughts. To be compared with Norman Rockwell tends to give one's ego too large a boost. I'm also more than happy to be mentioned in the same sentence as Ken Rockwell. Come to think about it I'm happy simply to be mentioned. :-) Best, LM.

Your views\critiques on this one will be gratefully received. Anyone

bothered by the light spot, upper right? Best, LM.

I like the composition, the narrowing bridge drags one into an unknown world, as it bends into the dark. This lightens the burden on the boy who drags the cart --- they don;t walk, but flow with the bridge. compliments -koushik

Koushik, Thank you for your thoughts on this one. Nice of you to take the time. Your comments shed new insight that perhaps hadn't been considered before. This is the stuff that makes PN work. Best LM.

I love this moment you have captured and preserved forever! Lovely composition and colors; very well done!Thank you for sharing. :)

I knew when the scene was unfolding that it would be worth investing at least one frame. (all I had time for before my red shirted grandson turned his head back).  Thanks for taking the time & effort to dig through my folders to get to this one & make comment.  Best, LM.
