That's too easy.
. . . you should have told us the you spotted her - and then quickly got down on the floor of the boat to get the right angle :) |

Yup - I guess it's football season! Nice action shot - love the ball in the air. Not much you could do to light your grandson's face (given the sun angle and his position). Are you in the stands or on the sidelines for a shot like this? |

Thanks Cindy - I agree with your point that it's not obvious from the image how it was made or what it is. Next time I'll try to get something to link the water to the fountain, etc. - although the people may be then too small. Something to experiment with! |

You raise a good point - I also thought that the droplets look like something done with photoshop . . . because the viewer has not context for the larger scene. Unfortunately, I don't have that wider view . . . it would have been worth capturing. |

I enjoy the softness of this image - and also the different layers (foreground, mid ground and sky) - that create interest.
I like the way you flip these images - making the viewer think about the scene - and literally which end is up!
You are motivating me to explore some of these approaches. Thank you!

WOW - it's almost as though you staged the sailboat to pass in front of the iceberg. It really pops. Amazing.
I like the scalloped left side of the iceberg.
The triangular part of the iceberg front/center - is shaped like a sailboat (at first I wondered if it was a shadow created by the boat - but it's not). It would have been cool to try to shoot the sailboat in the center of that triangle; perhaps bringing even more attention to it (although I suspect a large, bright red sailboat doesn't need more attention!).
The boat give the whole scene a sense of scale.
What are we seeing in the distance? Are those waves? Or a shoreline? Kind of a wavy appearance - with different hues of blue.
Looks like an amazing trip/photo op! |

I have never been to Mackinaw Island - but it's on my bucket list. I should make an effort to get there! Not sure I've ever been to place with no motor vehicles.
I like this scene - well exposed - the carriages give the scene much character. Two things I'd consider - (1) what would this look like as a portrait image; since much of the scene really fits that orientation and it would accentuate the distance, (2) exploring different camera angles (including shooting very low to the ground - and also getting various degrees of alignment of the central row of lights).
Looks like a place I need to visit with lots to photograph! |

Not just another baby picture . . . this one interests me - and I keep thinking about it! I would not crop it; all the parts of the photo contribute to the story.
The child is beautiful/innocent/sharp and staring at the photographer. She is tightly gripped with both arms by (I assume) her father - as he gazes into the distance - a bit out of focus - but we can see him clearly. Even his forearm is out of focus - adding interest and guiding the viewer to the child's face.
I'm not sure why - perhaps due to all the craziness in the world - but viewing this without the context of the whale watching cruise - I'm a bit alarmed - wondering what's going on - the child doesn't look happy - where is she? Who is holding her? Why?
I agree with Lance about looking at the world around you . . . I had similar recent experiences with fireworks and an air show - where some of the best scenes were not of the fireworks or air show. Kudos to you for spotting her!

I like this image - something that caught my interest is that the "With God all things are possible" phrase is barely visible on the top box - and gets much clearer on the lower box. At first I wondered if that was something Chan did . . . but looking at the original - it appears there as well. A nice touch!
I like the handwritten title on the white border . . . reminiscent of a vintage photograph in an old album (I assume with the four white corners to keep it in place)! It adds interest.
The bright background doesn't bother me . . . it's monotone/not interesting - and the boxes "pop" nicely against it.
One of the reasons I love photography is that you can do it ANYWHERE; exotic/dangerous/expensive destinations - or one's closet. Truly an avocation for life. |
