Merchant's Granddaughter + 1

[Yiskah]

The first and last shots are of a street merchant's granddaughter and the second one... well, I just thought this one was cool and happened to be two doors down from the little girl. Comments & tips welcome.

Hi Yiskah. I think those are good captures, though the cropping is a bit tight in my opinion. I like the first one the best, and I think it is a good candidate for a LOMO conversion, what with all those colors. It looks like she was oblivious to your taking pictures. I like the possibilities in the second picture, with the plant, grill and pots set nicely against the yellow background. Perhaps a wider field of view without cutting off the subjects is a better approach. You do have an eye for discovering interesting subjects, especially color combinations - when you do, go crazy, take lots of pics from all angles :)

By the way, that's a Bougainvillea, right? Lovely plant, brings back memories, I grew up with huge bushes of those in our front lawn.

Pio,
As always, I truly appreciate your help:) I have been trying to "crop" less, but can see now that you are correct- I will keep working on that;)

Yiskah, I thought the top image looked a little soft or slighlty off focus, but it is (like the 3rd) a nice shot.

I do like the middle one best. Punch, loud and colourful. Would have benefited by being straightened, but other than that, my fave of the 3.

Paul.

Thanks, Paul. Thanks for the tips, too!

They have sharpened up a touch - yes...

Keep going! All the fun is shooting HUNDREDS digitally, lol...
