Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:53288} 8/31/2006
Beautiful capture Shirley. I love the play with light and shadows you made. The photo is well cropp. Just one regret, I would prefer to see a little bit more of the child face.. this is too dark in my MHO.
Anyway, this is a nice shot.
Congrats

Cathy Carroll   {K:26332} 9/1/2006
There is so much emotion in this image. A child alone in a park grabs at your heart. The B&W format adds a bleakness. The downcast look on his face tells us he just wants someone to give him a push. At sometime in our lives we have all felt this emotion and this image takes us right back there! Superb work, CC


Yazeed Al Ghuraibi   {K:4555} 9/1/2006
Great darama shot !!

Congratulation on EC

Bradley Prue   {K:30285} 9/1/2006
Congratulations, Shirley! The award is well deserved, as you have captured that thing that is so elusive..... a quiet, reflective child. This shot has all of the atmosphere and charm that you could ever hope to capture, and is presented perfectly in b&w. You should be very proud...! ~Brad

Wonderful B/W Shirley!

The long shadow, and broken sunlight is so perfect for this composition. The DOF is spot on, and so well captures the quiet of the image.

very well done, and very well deserved SC award!

Hi Shirley,

This simple and everyday shot is so nicely captured, one can clearly feel the sunlight, the B&W adds the real punch here.

Keep it up,

Kerry Nobbs   {K:2677} 2/24/2007
Lots going on here the B&W almost hides but also adds to the feeling. Makes the metal cold somewhat masks the light and pushes the lengthing shadows. Good shot I like it..Kerry

Thank you so very much, Kerry!:)
