Sorry for beggin' .....

What do you think? I'm thinking its perhaps a little boring. Might have to reshoot without the wheelbarrow in the back ground!?!!......

Any suggestions very welcome. :D

    I like the shot but I think it should focus more on the shadow. I took a stab at a different crop. I hope you do not mind

    (I hated to crop out the face of such a gorgeous baby)
    Your floors are fabulous!!

    Thanks Mitch. I know what you mean. I cropped it as much as I thought to try and get it so that it was just the 'object' (baby) and the shadow. I agree, not quite 'shadowy' enough......
    back to the drawing board. thanks for taking the time clap.gif

    I like the cropped version, too. The shadow falls in just the right place to dominate, doesn't it? I notice it.

    And the little hand adds a lot, IMO

    I tend to agree that the shadow doesn't dominate. Also, the bright stuff is overblown. It's a shot that has a lot of good things in it, but would be better if it were recomposed and the exposure was set to handle the bright light. Then the shadow would fall into place.

    I actually like the one with the creature in focus better. Very nice.

    Interesting creatures you have "down under"!
