Look up on others (DSC2773)

This photo was ranked amongst the "World's Best Photo of Malaysia"

As a child we have always looked up on adults because there's so much that adults do that is beyond our reach. As we grow older many people look up on us because of something that we do better than others. Beware of the dark side, which is characterized by signs arrogance and a willingness to take advantage of people’s ignorance, often by deliberately making them feel stupid.

Thanks for commenting on my stream, thus allowing to find your stream. This picture is just amazing. And I am not saying this because my brain releases some chemicals when I look at a child's face.

I have a soft spot for B&W: I would be curious to see this one in monochrome.

jeronzinho says:

Delicious portrait. You've indicated a processing "graduated blur" but you've done the shot with an aperture of 1.7 ?? Strange, no ?
I love the HSL treatment. Congrats !
Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )

Shutterhack says:

Jeronzinho, with the Sigma 30mm at 1.4 (wide open) the water would have been too out-of-focused, thus making the background seem uninteresting, also at 1.4 the DoF would have been too narrow for the whole face to be in focus. I used the graduated blurring to remove the excess grain that rose from the curve editing.

Thanks for taking the time to critique and those kind words everyone.
