    Default Weekly Theme: Walking in the light

    Greetings. Another daughter shot from many years ago. The texture is new, though. Went to the beach and shot foam from receding waves lit from the sun with my tilt/shift (hence the oval light reflections). Added a blue-orange duotone for grins. NR, detailing, masked off some of the texture over subject, placed subject in bright spot of texture (an accumulation of bubbles).

    Thanks for looking.

    Cheers,

    -Michael-

    Great combination of image and texture! The oval light reflections are perfect with this beach image of reflected light from the water and wet sand. Your daughter is a darling main subject, catching her walking works well with all the other motion from the water and light.

    Very, very nicely done. The image is well-balanced. Although there's a lot going on, your daughter stands out as the subject. The light reflections behind her was a great idea. The blue/orange duotone works very nicely.

    Beautiful portrayal of a lovey daughter! I love the weight of the reflection and the light bubbles in the LL balancing her.

    Michael, I love the image and the tonality. I think I would remove that dark rock shape in the LLC (or lighten it just a bit). I'm enjoying seeing your daughter

    Nice colours and fusion of textures. I might be tempted to darken the LLC a bit.

    A beautiful confident appearing young lady. I like the way you have creatively combined two images from the beach.

    An adorable photo to start with. Love her posture and expression. I like the creative texture you used. Wish your daughter's face was a bit lighter and that the light areas bottom left were darker. Otherwise--great work.
