Very cool capture to go along with the topic. My question is, what can't you see they they are getting ready to stop?

This photograph has just been realized. I was on Vazaar, when a peace march passed in bottom of my home. It is simply the end of procession closed by the French police force. Stops was done regularly. Excuse me for my English. Greetings.

They were just following pacifist march of soccer fanaticts.

Bonne réaction au bon moment ! :)

This is such a great idea ! Love it !

cool idea. cheers, calisto

very cool ... love the shadow .. great and inventive:)

That's a very clever take on the topic. Nicely executed as well. :)

.moses.

I only wish the person made a letter. But I love that A

Good idea, but the execution is not quite there. So - it's still interesting!

Best,
Jon

I love the idea but in my opinion, the composition is a bit off. I think a bit of straightening, and slight shift to the right would've worked much better. I actually like the inclusion of the child though. I think it adds some quirky interest.

I like the light and the idea. I wish the little person was more central.

The next time I get back to this place, I'm going to rework the shot. Thank you all for the tips. So, I think move the shot to the right to show more of the width of the stairs, try to increase the height, and get my daughter to cooperate and be slightly more centered (that'll be a challenge for a 2 and a half year old). Thanks for the ideas, all.

i like the idea it fits perfectly to the topics.
perhaps the little girl would have been much interesting in another place of the shot (ex : down the stairs)

Es muy bonita pero y su color??? seguro que los tiene y muy importantes, ¿por qué quitárselos?

Hi Ana,

Thanks for your comment. I've posted this image in color for you on my blog. I don't understand what "quitárselos" means, so I can't address that part of your comment.

Me gusta mucho mas en color!!!!!
Con "quitárselos" me refería a todos esos maravillosos colores que imaginaba que tendría.
Gracias

very cool, and nice light/fog capture

I agree with Linda - I love the fog...and the "B" ain't Bad either. ;)

Do you have any experience making crop circles??? Good job, great imagination!!

No experience, I am city man. Just idea stuck me when I saw this totally covered by morning droplets field.

That's fun!

Very subtle. Good job on shooting all those reflective surfaces.

Thanks Leigh-Anne. I was quite chuffed with this one, the light is great, and the colours blend well with the ambient tones.

I would like a bit more dof in the foreground, but I really like the reflections and the colors.

Belle prise de vue, appropriée au thême et qui l'aborde de manière original. Peut-être le sorte de coussin coloré en trop (tu me comprends !!) et un fond, malgré le traitement, trop présent. J'aime la maîtrise de la lumière qui nous amêne a un rendu de la matière réaliste. A la prochaine.

Merci pour le commentaire, Eric. Pour le coussin, j'ai pensé à l'enlever, mais je me suis dit que ça mettait une touche de couleur...

:o)

Ha - the thumbnail looked like an "M" but the full version is two "A's" -- it's a twofer.

Hope someone else was driving. Stay safe out there!

wow! awesome observation hehe didnt even notice that!
of course of course someone else was definitely driving :-)

Ha! I like the angle you chose.

My goodness that is a curvy flamingo! The frame treatment is a tiny bit distracting for me but the colors you've captured are amazing - brilliant orange-coral and green-green grass.

Thanks Leigh-Anne; I've discovered drop shadow frames don't work on Vazaar, won't use them again!

Hi Chris - I think with framing of any kind that you're probably right and that's a reasonable rule of thumb; however, it also depends on how it is done. In this case, I think it isn't a big enough statement to justify it. It needs to add something to the impact of the image. As an example, Vernon just went for it with this image, and I think works because it really adds something dramatic to it. Honestly, it seems very trial and error here...

Does that make sense?

It does Leigh-Anne, thanks.
