I took this photo with my puny Canon SD850 in October of 2007 while chaperoning a French class trip with my former high teacher. The disappearing girl jumped into my shot off of the sidewalk at just the right moment. I'm still surprised how well it turned out!

ISO 200, 5.8mm, f/2.8, 1/20

PS-I'm craving a Canon t1i or t2i right now. NECESSITO DSLR :D

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at here- what's the subject of the photograph? The bricks in the foreground are the main visual element, but they're not really "interesting." The people are too small and underexposed to see...

Technically, the image is underexposed by a fairly large amount. Worse-yet, the brightest portion of the image where our eyes are naturally drawn are the white pillars, which lead the eye right out of the frame. If the center had something of interest, or were brighter, then the bricks would probably be the dominant lead-in.

Given the exposure difference between the sky and trees and the center of the image, it's likely that you'd have had to bracket exposure to get a good shot, or used HDR or probably more effectively shot at a time of day where the lighting was much more balanced.

What a beautiful shot: the composition, the turn of the bird’s head, the direct ‘eye contact’, the bokeh, the restricted colour ‘palette’, the simple background that sets off the subtle colours of the bird, and even the yellow in some of the ‘needles’ that echo the yellow in the stripe over the bird’s eye.

The stripe is the distinguishing feature, I imagine. In UK we have little birds like this: linnets, twites, redpolls, finches, buntings... all in the ‘finch family’. This shot would look great in a book or calendar (the sort of shot you’d be happy to look at for a month)...

Thank you, Doylem for your kind words.
 
Been a couple of days... Incredible photos in the past couple of days.

The chickens do not have names that I know of, they are not mine, probably will be dinner one day soon though :)

Mine for today...

The sun sets over the Coast Mountains and Baffen Island behind a still Kitsilano Beach Pool in Vancouver Canada.

Lovely shot. I like how the water in the pool is dead calm and the water on other side is not.


A shot from a photo shoot last night in downtown Seattle.

I immediately noticed them haha.
