Thanks for all your comments. When I get a few minutes I'm going to play with the feet shot some more using some of your suggestions. I love playing with shots like that. And I realized I didn't say what it was a photo of. Sometimes I forget that I saw the pre-cropped version and other people might not know what it is. It was DD jumping on a trampoline, and that's the safety netting behind her. She was in her semi-formal dress because I thought that would make a fun jumping shot, but when they didn't come out like I'd hoped, I thought I'd crop and play.
Love that horseshoe shot. So rustic-looking. My dad used to say, "Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." I know he didn't make that saying up, but I always thought it was funny....once I was old enough to understand the humor in it!
ReplyDeleteI think this shot would look really cool with some texture added to it! (But, I think almost everything looks cool with texture.) Just looked at the one below, and looks like you got lots of great input! I agree that I'd like to see the context a bit more by adding below the feet. Can't wait to see what you do again with it!
ReplyDeleteI love the texture in this shot!!!
ReplyDeletei really like the feeling of this. definitely takes me back to simpler days of backyard bbq's and playing yard games til dusk. nice job.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome shot, I love the feeling it gives!
ReplyDeleteReally neat shot! Looks like they have been through a lot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool shot. I don't think I do themes well either.
ReplyDeleteI am so not good with horseshoes, but I'm glad that someone is. I like the rustic feel to this.
ReplyDeleteCool shot. I love the textures and color of this. It very artistic. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteHe would whip my ass, I suck at any of those sort of co-ordination games. I love the shot and how it has special memories for you.

ReplyDeleteOh yeah, he would DEFINITELY whip my butt! But I would sure try, I love horseshoes!
ReplyDeleteI love this shot, Becky. In fact, this may be my all-time favorite shot of yours! I like the detail, the composition, the lighting and blend of colors, and how nice it is as a photo that captures a slice in time.
