The Kids

This image, as noted, was taken at Lion Country Safari when the kids visited a few years ago.

Modification included; Dap Aquarell and Canvas Texture, in addition to normal image processing adjustments in CS4.

Enjoy!

Like the Aquarell Mark and the comp, might have blended the two photos together and got more detail in the eyes. Very bright and colourful family shot. Hope they get a copy.

Very nice, Mark. I really like the painted look and the bright colors. The frame perfectly completes the piece. Only thing that I think would make it better would be a little more detail in the eyes as Jackie suggested.

Hi Mark, I agree with comments above! I really like the togetherness and family bond shown here, with the little girl touching her brother's hand and all their arms pointing the same direction. The lion is a symbol of strength, and in a subtle way I think that reinforces the sense of strong family ties. Very nice Mark.

On another note, I can't stop wondering about that pole along the fence. Is that a person climbing it?

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

Thanks Kerry. Thought I'd bring something a little OOTB to the theme! ;)

Not sure what you see, but presume it is either the trees in the right center or the rope around the pole??? I think it is the rope tying the fence to the post.

The brother is the father ... just for your info ... :) You'll see him again this week, though you might not recognize him, with his OOTB suroundings. ;)

Thanks for the correction Mark! I guess what I'm seeing is the rope around the pole. The perils of late night viewing! ;)

No problem Kerry. We also probably also share the perils of elderly viewing! :D
