    Love the shot of the kids, and wish the reflection wasn't in it, because it's not nearly distinct enough to tell us anything other than there's a guy with a camera. It would be fine if we really could see you though. And the kids are fabulous.

    Do you think I should try to clone it out? Thanks

    :nah I wouldn't bother--it wouldn't change the image much if at all, and it would keep BD's head from exploding. :D

    Very nice shot. Doesn't look like Colorado though. headscratch.gif

    You're right it is not Colorado! This was shot in Kyiv, Ukraine (also the park bench).

    As soon as I hit the submit reply button in my reply to BD, I thought that either he might not bother to reply or I would get a speech on capturing reality and the manipulation (or not) of images... :D:D No worries BD!

    NO. ;-) It is what it is. It reminds me of nothing so much as an image from 1940s Britain. Lovely.

    It is what it is, I agree. I was walking down the street and the kids were waving at passers by. I just couldn't resist waving back at them and taking the shot. They were so happy about it!

    Thanks for your response :D!

    Lose the title and it becomes perfect; let us discover the reflection :-)

    That's exactly what I thought after reading some of the comments. You are exactly right!
