love the saturation of colors but seems like too much NI was used.

it really pops... but the support cutting the girl in half is too distracting for me

Its a wonderful photo, adorable young love. Not really sure why you did not crop out the tree, but a really cool shot. 8

Nice candid. The girl who is watching really adds to it.

A bit overdone with smoothing. The vertical bar is quite an impediment, but I know it'd be hard to remove it with a weilding kit while still keeping the teenagers at work.

Funny and good capture. I´m not sure though i like the "texture" of it. Could belive you are using to much noise reduction.

Nice candid moment. The poles are unfortunate. I think that a tighter crop without the legs and red shirt of the boy would be better.

Beautiful - focus could be improved, but so beautiful it appears to be staged - the tree in the forground makes this awesome!!!

Too much noise reduction?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/13/2006 01:11:02 AM
On the technical side, it appears that noise reduction was applied to this image; I don't necessarily think grain would have been a bad thing for this image, and preserving all the detail would be ideal for a shot of this viewing size. Good catch on the moment though.

This is a great capture of the moment but the skin tones appear to be overdone in some sort of noise filtration software.

Perfect moment. She's the agressive one, the other can't believe it, he's taking it like a man. Pretty cool. DOF and POV perfect. Colors excellent. 9

I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

I see a decent candid moment here. Better than most others in challenge. However, I can see the usage of neat image, which tells me you must have had to rid of some noise you weren't happy with. Still a (6) from me. Would have been better in a sepia tone I believe.

I love how the metal pole almost divides it in half. Nice colors and a great moment. 8
