 It was an absolutely beautiful weekend here in Northwest Indiana. It was in the high 50's to low 60's with lots of sunshine. We took the girls to the park today to have a picnic and play. It feels so good to get out of the house after being stuck inside or freezing while outside during the winter months.

The composition on this seems a bit off to me. Of course it probably doesn't help I wasn't centered while taking the picture because I was sharing a small space with Ken while he was trying to capture some of the same shots. Thanks to Ken he let me in to get some shots.

I promise to go out this week and capture more nature pictures depicting spring as spring break is over and I will have some alone time in the afternoons.

What you neglected to tell was how you pushed me off to the side and yelled loudly "THIS IS MY SHOT!!". OK, so it's embellished a bit...

Nice processing (Lucis?) to bring out the details in the girls. That look on Cartesia's priceless because of her fear of going over the bridge.

You guys are going to have a great collection of kid shots when you're finished with this side challenge! Looks like you used Shadow/Highlight or HDR on this one. The colors are vibrant, and I love the perspective.

I agree with L1it does have kind of a 3-D feel to it.

Nice perspective. Looks a bit over sharp though.

Hey Amanda - I'm not laughing at all - Rozy does the same thing to me...Love the concentration on Cartesia's face. Colours, trees and beautiful sky all brilliant.

i'm sitting here laughing amanda ..
just imagining you and ken trying to get a shot of your girls .. a bit like two ppl trying to walk thru a door together ..
its a brilliant photograph and i'm glad cartesia got over the sulks from yesterday .. or whenever ken photographed her in the grass with that amazing rural scene and sky ..
anyway .. if you were wanting to fix the slight tilt you could just skew it slightly .. pull it down a bit on the bottom rhs and to the right a bit on the top rhs .. but you probably already knew that .. and i dont find it a problem ..
i love your process .. i can just feel the warmer temperature, but with a slight chill in the air, looking at this excellent image ..
thankyou for your lovely comment about selling my stuff .. you made my day ...:)
