Thinking this might be good for knowledge.



Thoughts?

oh that's a great shot!

Perfect for knowledge.
Nits: the stuff at the bottom--crop it out, too distracting and on the bottom left too and the trees with the tents underneath--try and crop all that out,not much action going on there anyway.

Out of curiosity--can you post a b&w version-- I think that would just nail it and do away with out all the color distractions and just be about the grads and their caps in the air. Worth a shot and a look see.
Great great idea! Bravo.

Thanks for the input. I took the suggestions and came up with.

What do you guys think? Thinking the title will be "Congradulations".

I think Liz was right. I like the last one very much

ckaspar

Right on! Thanks! I like the B/W one as well. Thanks for the advice. I am gonna post the B/W version to the challenge.

Can I suggest...

...look at an even tighter crop, maybe even cutting out the chairs, and the bottom border starts at everyone's waists,

...rotate the horizon a smidge to the clockwise,

...slightly increased contrast (if using the B&W).

But great take on the theme!

ckaspar

Better?



Thanks again for all of the help.

I like the higher contrast B&W.

Nice job on the cropping and eliminating the unnecessary.

way to go.

Thanks so much you all! I am learning so much here. These challenges really force you to learn new techniques and see things in a different way.

I just wanna make the final cut on one of the challenges! . One day with everyone's help I will achieve that goal.
