 Very pleased with the placing of this image. I wasnt quite sure if it really fit the challenge description.

This was taken at the Slate Run Historical Farm here in Ohio. 9am in the morning with clear blue skies. I almost always take pics of the kids going back and forth down this path but they never really come out strong. This one did. I really like this shot.

PP - RAW conversion, boutwells magic glass, selective color layers, shadow/highlight adjustments, dodge and burn, vignette, gaussian blur faded and masked off kids, path and center of trees, resize, a bit more of everything and an USM.

Great finish with this one Tim. The light, the shadows, and how they lead us and the two back into the scene works very well together.

Fascinating capture. All the elements work very well together. The soft focus effect is subtle and pertinent. Very good.

Love the way the fence/path leads my eye through the image. The kids holding hands is classic. The negative here is the sky color - looks very artificial in tone and has color banding that appears to be from the pp.

The dancing shadows are the perfect finishing touch to a lovely photo.

Very nice colors and processing, but the concept of mutually benefitial relationship is not so clear..
