BW attempt

[Stoneh]

Wanted to create a timeless type picture, the tree, bin, bench Sapha's clothes... didn't want anything in the picture to indicate it was shot last week!!

Sapha is at a crossroads wondering which way to go.. my son is on a metal scooter, looks like an old bike in the photo!!

Any comments/suggestions would be welcome

I really like this stoneh. It creates an air of mystery for me with the dark, unrecognizable figure (your son) on the path in the trees and, it appears, a sense of apprehension in your daughter. This is probably me just being dramatic ;) Very well done.

A fine and sensitive image. Well done.

PS. It would take 2 minutes to remove the garbage can
or only 10 seconds to darken the stuff in it.

This is an excellent image and a pity not to remove
that small distraction.

That has moved to the number one spot in my mental rankings of favorite photos on this forum. I suspect Sapha [and those who love her] will treasure that photo when she's older.

Like this one much. Nicely done.

Thanks for all the comments, i'm glad you like the picture as much as I did!! Thanks Ajax, that's some comment! I love this picture too, even more than the previous one. She better appreciate it when she's older!!

Stoneh, fantastic composition. I agree about the garbage can. Also, I would try and dodge your son a little so we could possibly see him better.
This shot was made for B&W, again nicely done!
