Great photo. I love the unique angle. The hairband seems a little distracting and her eyes are facing the short end of the frame, so I tried a square crop...

I like this series with the kids and the old vehicles. Great warmth and saturation... muted yet vivid... dark yet bright... old yet young.

Don't worry... the dirt on his face wasn't from a fall... it was just dirt kicked up from the horses that were in the lead earlier in the race. He came from behind to win. There are a couple of other pictures in my portfolio that show how much loose dirt was on the track (but well-groomed and fast).

Here's a re-do inspired by your tight crop. I kept it at 4x6 aspect ratio, just to be consistent with the rest of the shutterfly snapshots from this trip.

Great crop as usual Shawn. My framing was straight out of the camera and originally seemed close enough as was, but after seeing your crop, I like the way the fingers form the square frame, plus you removed the distracting wristwatch and the frogs foot (which I kinda liked, but it's a much cleaner image without it.) Ideally I'd prefer not to have the scrap of grass on the frog's face.

 

This was my new 70-200 f4/L IS... I previously had a non-IS... I'm really enjoying the upgrade. This one was in the XTi macro mode, using a 550EX as fill.

 

I was pleasantly surprised at the detail in his fingers (including the typical dirt and worm guts that a 9 y.o. boy gets during a week of camping).

The drummer is our neighbor, so it gave me a good excuse to play with

my new 70-200mm F4L IS lens. The kids did a great job and I really love

this lens. Throughout the week I'll upload several from this series.
