• I'm not a big "lots of headroom" fan, so I might've cropped it here... - Dom 0815
  • I like your crop suggestion, Dom. Thanks, I think I'll give it a try! Time to get rid of my 3:2 format obsession, I guess.
    Btw, I already did crop a tad at the top.

    I am not a big fan of very dark images, but love this one. The dark tones work well as a counter weight against the goggles.

    i love dark images. i agree with kristina about the balance between the dark tones & the goggles. i feel more emotion looking at this type of photo. good emotion. i see a tiny moment in a beautiful day.

    Wonderful darkness. Love those goggles. Looks very cute and funny.
    (about my cloth pins with black background. Just gave it more and more contrast. The background was a bit dark because there where bushes and plants)

    whats so great about this is the goggle reflectiveness...brighten up the image centrally. i like it

  18. Karl Batchelor (48 months ago | reply)

    Every now and then the natural light allows us to take a photo that under any other conditions would be a good shot, but with this light you get something outstanding. In my view this is a fantastic shot.

    Whoa! This one takes the crown in your high-key series, Chris. That aurora glow elevates the image to another level. And your daughter helped your cause by striking the right pose.

    magical use of light. the reflection in the goggles and spill on the face just draws the viewer in.
