April 26, 2008

Last post for a week, gotta get this moving thing going!! Another shot I got yesterday, this one of both of the girls. I'd love honest feedback on whether this works, the pp'ing, the crop (10x20), Ren's textures (they ROCK, btw), everything. Something about it makes me smile, but I'm on the fence about whether it'll print up right, especially at 10x20. Oh, and if anyone's wondering, these are the same kind of wooden steps I was so upset about losing, but not in the same location. I saw a very similar set of steps across the street that weren't being torn down, and had to go over there.

Okay-sugar free CC, let's have it. 85mm. ss/500, f/4, ISO 400.

Oh I love that red wall. And the 2nd one to! Great work!

Jess said...

I LOVE this- both processings look amazing to me! I think either one would look great printed. Good luck with the move, hurry back! :)

Becky said...

I like the second one better. For some reason their faces just seem more emphasized in the b/w version. We'll miss you until next week. Hope you have a move that's as stress-free as possible.

This is s uper cute shot. I like both your processing, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the first one.

Gosh...you had to ask for CC, now I've got to pull something out of my butt.

Ok, I do see a bit of yellow in the first one. Your DD has olive skin, so I think sometimes conversions tend to enhance that "yellowy" tone. The crop is great, totally works and I like the setting too, although it seems to be missing your "normal" color pop. I like bolder colors here perhaps...does that make sense?

Anyway...the BnW is great, but I do think I would LOVE this in color!

Nice shot, I love the red wall.

Reds said...

Love this - the colour, the cropping and the location! Wow!

Bobbi said...

Love it....gosh you make it hard to choose between b/w and color though. I love the red wall and would normally say color just for that, but there is something about that b/w that makes me think I would order that one. I love the 10x20 crop!

Mandy said...

I think the crop and processing is awesome. I agree with Becky...I do like the b/w better...it does really bring their faces out. :) I love weird crops, and this looks totally natural.
