Thanks Richard, for the cow comment, and to others who misread the image, thus making me realize it needed a square crop.:rofl:rofl

    wow on #1, the way you shot it makes the "guard" look so very intimidating.
    Like #3 as well, great capture of the bored mom. Sweet conversion as well. Is that LR you are using? :D

    #3 is too funny. The man's tongue reaching for the cone and the bored Mom. The kids seem to be the normal ones. mwink.gif

    I'm assuming #2 is a "found scene." I think I'd prefer seeing it in B&W to appreciate the shapes and textures.

    Laughing.gif! Yes indeed they do. Same patio, same shoes. But it is a 'found scene' - nothing altered in any way.

    And in regard to Jen's comment about b&W - I'll try it that way, but I definitely saw it as color, between the laces on the shoes, the color of the table, the bike....

    #1 - Good capture which could have been a powerful image. However, the dogs are lost in the shadows. My suggestion would be increase contrast and open up the shadows via fill lighting or a touch of brightness.

    #2 - Uninteresting shot.

    #3 - An otherwise mundane shot made mildly interesting by the man about to lick his ice cream. Cropping might work here (out the guy's back on the left and empty space on the right. Cheers.

    eek7.gif Wow, I couldn't disagree more. The color is what makes this shot for me.

    I like #3 as well but wish you had found a way to make the cow play a bigger role. rolleyes1.gif
