Sorry Sharon, I cannot understand "chaeting" :(
But if you mean "disturbing", no, there is no problem at all with me. The result is just beautiful this way, so congratulations to you, and I really do not care if you had to use Photoshop to achieve it.
I've always regarded postprocessing as the final and personal touch that everyone can give to one's production, exactly like photographers did before in the darkroom.

Oh Martine, my apologies! That was a typo! What I meant to say was 'cheating'.

I agree 100%. The effect only becomes a problem when it's too heavy, or not justified. It works perfecly, here (and I like your other pictures, too...)

philippe, thanks so much! I do at times try to push things, but hopefully not too far :)
Cheers to you!

a cool selfportrait. i like the motion and the typo works well with your face. nicely done!

Excellent depth of field and vanishing point!

The light and composition are just smashing!

nice... the shallow DOF makes it work, and it works well

wow...this is so good!

Nice capture, they sure are interested in you. Very good capture. I might have "punched" the tonal range a bit.

bravo ! très belle image bien en relation avec le thème !

Oh...this is really such an amazing capture! The artwork as a backdrop for these children works wonderfully. It's as though they have escaped a nightmare, and are completely unscathed. If I were to do it differently, I wouldn't change a thing :)

A great capture indeed - a pcure I can look at for a long time...
The children are perfectly placed in the frame and doing it in B&W was the right choice. The only minor thing I might have done differently is crop out the door on the left - but as I said: It's a minor thing. All in all it's a great picture.

I don't know which i like best; the children or the art work. One thing is for sure; they go great together...

Good shot. Minor distraction is the white car behind the tram.

Thanks HuubL, you caught me still online :) I tried to clone that car out but to no avail, stuck with it hahaha :( Just couldn't convincingly get rid of it.

This is brilliant!

belle photo, avec ces deux tramways (dommage la voiture blanche derrière, qui attire trop l'œil, mais pour avoir les deux trams en même temps, tu n'avais pas le choix). Voila une photo qui représente bien l'image que l'on se fait de SF.

Merci op_perrin

I really like your perspective and vantage point. The softness of this photograph, so inviting.

Thank you very much to you all :)

wow. it looks like a painting. did you digitally produce this effect? amazing regardless...

Thank you Nathan :)
I have blurred a little the background.

Juicy greens! I like the dreamlike look.

Variation of a photograph already presented according to the idea of Didier ;)
Thank you for the preceding comments:)

I can't really see differences with the former version (which probably means that I was not disturbed with the dots).
In my opinion, the framing and colors are excellent, very well done Eric.

You know, this is striking, no matter which way you look at it. As a thumbnail it jumps out at you and as a larger version, draws you right in.
The colour is sublime!

Wow strong image! Excellent diagonal composition. That blue bites!

Gracias

Makes me smile...great!

Posando de esta manera, fué difícil no hacer el tiro. Saludos

Great shot!

Gracias HuubL. Saludos

This looks familiar... hmmmm. Oh yeah: www.weeklyshot.org/theme/balance/response/81/

:) Great minds.

This is so funny! We made the same photo! I'm sure I have seen yours at the time you send it to WS, but I had no memory of it, believe it or not. Maybe somewhere in the subconscious mind... Thanks for the reminder :o)

Yes, but you had far better lighting than I did. The clouds make all the difference in the world. Well done.

You are too kind :o)

Is this for real?
I'm amazed...incredible capture!
