One of my best friends was recently reunited with his son whom he hasn't been with for more than 5 years. Since he was new to the area, we decided to take them to the city. Here are a few shots from that gorgeous day. Hope u guys like them and Happy Thanksgiving!!

6 is a truly wonderful picture. But I can't get on with the processing. It looks a bit mushy almost, not sharp, and the colours a bit unusual. Shame as it's the best by far in my opinion.

On the contrary, there isn't anything about (6) that I don't absolutely love.

If it were take of me and my dad, it would be a large canvas in my home

Bravo!


Aloha

Thanks Dave!

Thanks Greg, I appreciate the nice comment. I too would have loved a picture like that with my Dad.

ct8282: Here's a bigger copy, hope it looks sharper:

I love #6 as well. Superb location, lovely light and composition and oozing with atmosphere. Well done.

4,5,7 are too PP'd for my taste. The rest are right up my alley. Looks like you had fun. FWIW :-)

Processing doesn't make the picture the contents does, it's a shame people look at the technical qualities before the heart of it

If technical PP is added great, if not, and it still conveys the subject great!

some of my best shots have been the worst technically

#5 & #6 stand out for me. Well done in both.

Some of the early shots in the set have some minor issues. #2, for example would be a dramatic shot, but the bright background right behind him prevents good background separation. Sometime there's nothing you can do to get the subject to stand out well.

#4 - Love the shot. My only nit is that shots like this should be exactly centered. The seam in the floor should go directly to the camera and the post either side should be exactly symmetrical by cropping or in-camera composition.

Print that #6 large. It's a beauty.

6 is indeed a special photo. If I had to find something wrong with then maybe i would have liked to see the whole boy and not have the bush in front of him.
Great shot regardless.

Nice series. Just a couple nitpics

#2 - tilted a little to the left. the post he's standing in front of, being the middle post should be straight.

#4 - yup, that line in the pavings needs to be right slap bang in the middle of the frame. Tried this one in B&W ?

#6 - maybe a step or two to the left would have got you a better angle but hey you could argue that the bush gives them privacy ?

that tree is wierd though - did you do any cloning or something to it ? looks even worse. It's like OOF but with sharp edges.

What software are you using ? - I think the sharper subjects should be achieved selectively, not sharpening the whole picture would work better.

Thanks guys, I'm glad u like some of them This wasn't a planned shoot by any means. I just thought I'd post a few shots of our le outing.

Thanks for your critique cadman342001! use photoshop for my sharpening. That is a resized and sharpened for web copy. I value all criticism from all the Pro's around here.
