LOL! Great shot, Bob! What a cute expression! :) KW

Inger and Jeff, thank you for your comments! I was pleasantly surprised that I got such positive responses on this image. I love carousels, I have since I was a child. This was an exceptionally beautifully one... :) KW

I was holding a treat just out of reach... Gotta keep the boys begging, right? ;) KW

Ummm, oh-kay! LOL!

Yep, this is my kitty! ;) KW

Thanks, Steve! :) KW

Thank you, Steve! I'm glad you dropped by! :) KW

Xiang and Steve, thank you! :) KW

You have quite a few great closeups in your portfolio, David! Love the candies! Maybe you should take some of M&M's! LOL! KW

Love new crayons, still one of my favorite things! And these guys are the good ones! ;) I like the randomness of the composition, they look like they just spilled from the box... The only thing I would say is iffy is the one brown one in the bottom right corner, but really, that's just a nitpick, certainly doesn't alter your image... I like it! :) KW

Hmm... I clicked on the thumbnail totally expecting to see a photographer's reflection in the ball. Very interesting that you did not include yourself! I saw the color version in your portfolio, and while I generally prefer color, I think the B&W works extremely well here. :) KW

I agree, we do remember...

Shaun, thank you!

 

Tom, thank you! I tried to focus on the girl reaching back for her mom, but even she was going up and down... I'll try your tips, and you are right, it isn't easy!!

 

John, the whole carousel was surrounded by a terribly ugly black iron fence, and I couldn't get any shots of the carousel without it. This one was snapped at sunset, which didn't help my exposure any... And do you think I even had the tripod there at all? Ha!

LOL! I know, I know, use the tripod! Jeez! ;) KW

I think I've said everything on the other two, these work really well together to tell a story, to capture the fleetingness of being a child. The third and final shot, she's walking away, leaving it behind... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series!!

Very nice expression, more hair blowing in the wind, lol! But, I like it. The horizon line also draws my eye, but for me, because it's dark... Excellent light on Julia, the shadows are soft and flattering. And I love her freckles! :) KW

Lovely portrait, Steve! The leaves against the water look like stained glass... The blue color is beautiful! Julia's face just seems to glow here, and I like the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves. Good color harmony, I think the overall effect is peaceful, clean and quiet... :) KW

Experimenting with capturing motion... Comments and suggestions are

appreciated! Thanks! KW

John, thank you! :D

Bob, thanks for your comment, and the advice! I have other poses from this shoot that I never edited, so I'll try that! :) KW

Thank you, John! There haven't been any more blooms since this one...

Thanks for the comment, John! Beautiful buildings, are they not? :) I have moved from Atlanta now, farther north to Illiois, and I miss it very much! Maybe not the traffic, though... ;)

 

As far as things in my images being crooked, they look straight to me when I shoot them! I see the crookedness after uploading. I have tried to become more aware of horizon lines and such when composing my images, but all I can say is, thanks goodness for PP tools! KW

 

The hole in the middle is curiously bothersome! I want to slide the other mugs down to fill that spot! ;) Great color and variety even in repitition, quite an interesting composition, although I think the neon yellow price stickers detract a bit. I spy the 'photographer' mug!

Great photo, I can smell the damp forest now! KW

Thanks for Looking... KW
