p.1 #1 · On the Road

A young musician hiking across country.
After I took this, I did introduce myself and gave them some money (he was traveling with two others and two dogs) They were fun to talk to and got the feeling they were really enjoying their freedom. The Momma in me still wonders how they are and hopes that they are safe and warm.

I used dodging and burning in PS on this one.
Thanks for looking!

Great capture, Susi! They'll have fun until the weather takes a turn.

Bluegrass players? I would have invited them home with me for a meal and a couch for the night if they agreed to play!

You would have had three people and two dogs you never met spend the night at your place? Wish I had your phone number at the time

I did go home and get them a new set of fiddle strings to replace their broken ones, along with some cash that was the best I could do at the time and will be sending them the pictures I took. I think they appreciated these small gestures so all is good.

Wouldn't have been the first time, and hopefully not the last.

wish a single woman felt that safe in the world! Actually if I was retired and didn't have immediate work to do, I would have entertained the idea. I think they were good kids.

Susi, a couple bad apples always ruin it for everyone else. I prefer to just blindly forge ahead and hope for the best

Then again, I should probably stop picking up hitchhikers...

My 2 cents: Looks over burned/dodged. The halo around the guy looks a tad too obvious for my taste.

Besides that, nice shot!

It's a warm story and a nice picture. That said, I would have preferred that you simply outline the individual then burn/darken the grass so it's visible, but looks more naturally dark.... The burnt edges are too obvious for my taste.

I actually did the burning on the top layer and then erased the excess, guess is not too pleasing for some, but that's okay

Susi, wonderful shot - the expression and pose speak volumes. And I very much like the post-processing, which adds to the feel of the image. Very best, Spyros

Looks like a great shot, Susie. I hope if I am ever down on my luck I am in your neighborhood.

Merry Xmas!
