Cute, kinda reminds of of Bridge to Terabithia. Im wondering what they are imagining they are up to

cute
03/16/2009 03:45:39 AM
doesnt have a lot of interest
03/15/2009 10:04:22 PM
I can see the effort in trying to use perspective. Still the image lacks interest IMO 5
03/15/2009 04:03:20 PM
Good pic. A bit dark in parts or maybe that was your intention.
03/15/2009 03:20:14 PM
Nice moment captured, good perspective.
03/15/2009 03:12:39 PM
Interesting lighting, I wish the boys were sharper, but I really like the composition.
03/15/2009 01:18:43 PM
nice capture of the spirit of childhood, above normal
03/15/2009 12:53:07 PM
Cute shot and I like the color treatment but doesn't hold my interest very long.
03/15/2009 11:57:49 AM
A cute photo, I like the leading lines of the path.
03/15/2009 07:02:28 AM
wish to see this from another perspective
03/15/2009 02:07:08 AM
Nice title with the walking boys.
03/15/2009 01:27:50 AM
This picture really captures the essence of adventure one has when their a child. Well done. 8.

Don't take this the wrong way but as I see DPC as a learning experience here is my frank critique:

This comes across as a snapshot. By that I mean that I feel that anybody standing where you were with a camera could have gone click and got this result. I think a photographer should aim to do more than that. I may be wrong and perhaps you do have more of a story to your shot but the fact is that it doesn't come across to the viewer.

As an example, if you were in Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower you could hold the camera and go click. You'd have a shot that millions of other tourists have and would be good as a record of your holiday. I think at DPC you need more than that. You need to consider the POV - make it something that enhances the tower (include a flowerbed or kissing couple in the foreground), make use of lighting (dusk for shadows), composition (maybe include the buildings beside it to get a sense of scale).

I hope this helps and please don't be offended, I'm only offering an opinion.

A bewitching photograph. Laden with metaphor and irresistibly inviting for the viewer as well as for the boys. It's the thing I love the most about photographs; a brilliant image that doesn't look it, doesn't look like a conventional photograph at all. An anti-photography photograph. I think that every adult can look at this and remember the same enchanted moments from their own childhood. The forest may have instead been an alley, or a big park, or some other forbidding place, but the moment was the same as this. From light into darkness, from certainty into doubt, from the familiar world into the unknown; each standing on the courage of his friend. Neither could do it without the other. We still do this, no matter how old we get; it's who we are. And thank Goodness for that. 10. And also the ultimate mark of DPC obscurity, the Order of the Thumb:

Interpretation of Topic: Creative Idea
Photography: Good Job
Viewers Reaction:Love your idea and could really relate to it.
03/14/2009 07:48:28 PM
The angle you are shooting from, the size of the trees, and the distance shown on the trail makes these guys looks so little and vulnerable, yet they are "marching" on despite it. That's how we have to approach life somedays.
03/14/2009 04:09:48 PM
Something about this really captures the feeling of carefree youth, I think it's the way the path is so open before them.
03/14/2009 11:19:49 AM
Great use of B&W
03/14/2009 10:48:23 AM
Very nice black and white conversion. Nice emotive shot.
03/14/2009 07:53:23 AM
ahhh sweet memories
03/13/2009 01:49:58 PM
Nice and simple. Nice B&W.
03/13/2009 01:11:39 PM
I like how they lead you into the photo to all the great shadow patterns
03/13/2009 12:10:46 PM
chuckle, chuckle...like your tones in this shot
03/13/2009 12:02:52 PM
nice leading lines and good conversion to B&W
03/13/2009 10:53:01 AM
just a little overexposed in areas.
03/12/2009 11:52:55 PM
I feel like I've been here as a kid. Thanks for the memories.
03/12/2009 09:18:34 PM
Makes me smile, and reminds me of summer camp, or a walk in the woods with my friend.
03/12/2009 08:50:38 PM
Good shot in difficult lighting.
03/12/2009 02:20:53 PM
Neat story shot
03/12/2009 12:37:52 PM
Cute story and title is nice. Good tones and nice in b/w.
03/12/2009 11:25:07 AM
I'm not sure about the B&W on this shot, because the path is really dark at some parts, so as some trees. I like the idea, light and composition. Good luck.
03/12/2009 10:57:34 AM
I like photos like this they make me want to make up stories to go along with.
03/12/2009 09:11:07 AM
i think the b&w does not work here very well, color would probably be better.
03/12/2009 12:45:14 AM
Cute. Looks as though they shouldn't be heading off that way alone.
03/11/2009 01:08:35 PM
Can I be the 3erd one, ahh the memories, thanks.
03/11/2009 12:21:56 PM
Ah, to be young again.
03/11/2009 02:54:30 AM
Lovely scenario. The kids draw us down the path.
