      any major post processing on this image, ryan? a great capture!

      Love this moment! It's almost too perfectly composed, but the slight tilt of the window(?) in the background gives just enough skew for me.

      cool shot :)

    5. Ryan Brenizer (74 months ago | reply)

      No, knoes, just some cropping and levels.

      Thanks, Meg! I'll take almost too perfect as a complaint. ;-)

      i thought id ask since the faces on the foreground looks like they've been "crystalized" on cs2 :-) but since there's no pp, AWESOME dof!

      Who carries an apple to their graduation? random. But way to be on the ball with this one. (3:1 pool)

      Great shot!

      Ah, I looked through all your tags to find what the object is - an apple!

    22. mauri212 (74 months ago | reply)

      Guess I should call and congratuate my 2 Columbia friends who just graduated. :p

      Great picture! Although I agree that it kinda random to be bringing apples to graduation.

      instant fav

    26. Ryan Brenizer (74 months ago | reply)

      Thanks, all! They didn't just bring them -- they were throwing apple cores around. Of course, it makes sense for Teachers College to bring apples. ;-)

      That's awsome. Great work!

    30. Andrew McKenna (74 months ago | reply)

      really cool photo.
      I love the out of focus main figures. they look very sinister to me.
      I reckon this is the weirdest photo I'll see on flickr today.
      but good stuff either way.
