Summer at the Sandbar

And, this is how summer's done ---"southern" style. I know Jeff Foxworthy

could find a joke in here somewhere. My redneck buddies are so much fun!

This is such a great shot. I love how the guys are trully doing teir stuff not being bother or posing for the shot (very natural) Also you got that hoese shoe perfectly. Great exapmple of good photography you've pressed the shutter release at the perfect moment. Congratulations

Thanks Alex...your right, they were totally involved in what they were doing, and I just got luck with the timing of the shot.. Thanks for the comment.....regards...LJ

I liked most the "natural", "unposed" look and the men's disconnectedness to the photographer... I only wished we could see the target as well... Regards,

Thanks Bulent, I agree, I wish I could have included the "target" as well, however I had to zoom in a good bit in order to get the shot, therefore no target. Thanks so much for stopping by, I appreciate the comment.....regards...LJ

Great informal shot, the tins of beer make it. I hope that you rembered to duck, regards

cool shot. you got the horseshoe in exactly the right spot. now...DUCK!

Lesa:

 

Congratulations on such a fine capture. Very effective elements - the horseshoe appearing suspended in air, the color contrasts, the subtlety of the water and the trees, the textures, etc.

 

IMHO, referring to the target is moot. The only way you could have photographed the target would have been from a very different vantage point. This would have resulted in a very different photograph.

 

P.S. Thanks for your recent visit and your comments.

 

My best,

Lesa, first off thank you kindly for your detailed feedback on my photo - much appreciated :-).

 

Secondly, I really like this recent shot of yours. It's a great "window" into someones lifestyle and environment. I too like how natural the image seems and how we are presented with three very different characters.

 

I'll take a proper look over all your shots soon, you seem like an interested fellow photog :-).

 

Warm regards,
