Was out on the Stanford campus for a shoot and thought this was applicable to this week's contest...looking forward to C&C!

Eye-catching composition and use of complementary colours. The only thing I wonder about is whether there should be more DOF. Best of luck!

Love the colors, the lines and the negative space. Nice graphic design. Well done!

Since you asked for C&C... Do you have another frame very similar to this one? The reason I ask is that it looks like the girl's right leg is broken. Like it's swinging past straight. It might just be an illusion with the lay of her pants leg, but it looks painful. Do you see what I'm talking about? It might not bother you or anyone else, but it was one of the first things I noticed. Regardless, it's quite a nice capture.

Nice comp Youssef! I like the color contrast. The leg is a bit awkward but I do realize she is just in her stride so I'm not too put off by it. You can always break and re-set the leg in Photoshop. Ouch!

Thanks for the feedback! I hadn't even noticed the leg until now... Unfortunately, I don't have another frame, and I'm not sure about breaking the leg in photoshop In terms of DOF, I would've liked to try out a bit more depth, but when I composed the shot, the girl was already at the benches to the left, and the opportunity was gone. Also, I wonder if it might've been better if she was running into the frame instead of out... maybe next time!

I actually kind of like the fact that her leg is kind of off. Reminds of when my daughter was around that age and she would intentionally walk stiff legged like she was a robot or doing the munchkin dance from The Wizard Oz. To me it looks like a kid being a kid and acting goofy. I also really like the colors, nicely done.

Youssef,

Nice shot. I have to agree that I really like the fact that the subject is moving out of the frame. Not sure why but it seems very uplifting to me. Maybe it is because she is moving with such purpose. Very nicely done. Good luck.
