Sunbathed II

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

  2. Well, if I were to be really, really picky I might say that the fuzziness of the trees in the background make the eyes work harder than they normally do.
    But the cast of light on the dying flowers makes for a truly poetic photograph.

    I am glad I found this place
    *hugs to you too* :)

  3. technodoll: seriously, you are too sweet! And I got to bed 1 hour earlier, 11 instead of 12!!!!

    Sian: I am so glad the we found each other, you are one of my favorites :)
    Let me explain the fuzziness to you a little bit so you get why I did that, had the background (the trees) been in focus it would have taken away from the main 'focus' of the photograph, which were the dying flowers........if the trees were in focus it would be far to much to take in all at once and would have made for a mediocre composition. This is where depth of field comes into play.........

  4. I agree Jessica, and I love to hear about the science of design. So, what don't you like about this photo?

  5. Sian: I'm glad you asked that.....I don't like how dark the bottom left corner of the photo is, but since I wanted to get the sun peaking around the tree.......that's what I ended up with......I could have taken more time to compose the shot prolly, but my fingers were so frozen!!!

  6. Now you see, I love that contrast and it gives a good strong shape to the light too. I know we are all harder on what we create than anyone else but like tecnodoll said, girl, you got talent (even with frozen fingers)
