Snapshot- "Attitude"

[Ultra Magnus]

I was taking sanpshots of the kids in the backyard to send to family and I caught this expression.

1/800 - F6.3 Sony DSC-F828 with fair amount of PS work

Beautiful. The colours, the pretty in-focus background and floor are very strong but never competes with the main subject. The little feet/toes and active fingers are lovely and he/she seems to be in a little world of his own.
The nicest child photo I have seen in a very long time.

Thank you for the kinds words! Other than the normal levels/curves adjustments, and straightening (when I take a crooked picture, I take a really crooked picture), I experimented with this technique- http://www.apogeephoto.com/sept2003/mfulks192003.shtml , I think with good results.

She still refuses to talk, so I think the very animated expressions she's been using lately are her alternate non-verbal ways to communicate.

And don't forget her hair!! I love how it's being swept to the side. Too precious!

Thanks to both of you! The trampoline generates a ton of static, making her thin hair stand up, so all it takes is a little breeze to make it blow like that.

Excellant shot for a snapshot. Composition is outstanding and the blue background is interesting. The lighting is a little harsh - perhaps a fill flash would have helped in this situation? But good shot.
