    Travel Colors

    Hi all,

    I felt strongly about this when I looked through the viewfinder and shot it. I haven’t done much in PP. I’m interested in what you think. If it’s a keeper, should clone out that object on the wall?

    Many thanks,
    Tim

    Really like the composition and angles from the building...that little bit of sky makes the photo for me.
    Your daughter is well positioned and the colors look very saturated and strong against the background. Good detail in everything.
    Although I detest cloning, this is one photo that would benefit a lot from it...the light is not that distracting really, but by cloning it out it would make for a much cleaner composition. Plus this looks to be a easy area to clone.

    Great job on this...
    Cheers.

    Wow, what a pretty shot. It has a lot of things going for it - the pose is fun, her expression and liveliness, and the background colors. I think it's a keeper, but there are also a few unusual angles here: not sure if I like how the right side extruding wall is clipped, or how only a block/sliver of the sky is showing. The object on the wall is neat, but the positioning of it where it's lined up vertically with her head, I'm not sure if that's good (try MOVING it instead of removing it maybe?). She's also a tad bit close to the sides of the frame. In all, it's like I want to see more. But what a great day for photography.

    I like this one very much.
    I would remove the flower thingy above her head but I would also clone out the blue thing (bottled water?) to her left, below the skirt.
    Nice and simple and it works.

    Hi PT, GB, and Tom,

    Thanks for the review. All your comments are good. And, I didn't even notice the water bottle!

    PT, I agree with you about cloning... But, I try in this case. I think the challenge is something my PP skills can handle.

    Best regards,
    Tim
