Lovely! High marks! :)

RichardFord said 981 days ago:

Thank you Anna. It is an old shot. But I am out of water shots and I have just packed up all my gear so I prolly won't have any new photos for a couple of months at least...

Anna said 981 days ago:

Well, does that matter? I'm guessing that you have a lot of really great photos in your archives... :) I like your imagery (hope that's the right word...) and I'm learning a great deal.

A great compo, at least to me, love the detail and the human simplicity of this.

I do wonder what color her boots are!

lbimaging said 980 days ago:

Precious. All high marks.

RichardFord said 980 days ago:

@ Ana

They were blue...

RichardFord said 980 days ago:

@ Ana

THe fact that her skin is very light suggests that it had to be a red or orange filter effect - and red or orange make blue come out more like black. Just one of the skills one develops by using BW film only. This however is digital and was converted with silver efex pro.

lovely nostalgia. nicely seen. are those bubbles throughout?

RichardFord said 980 days ago:

@ George the bubbles (splashes) are caused by the rain drops landing in the pool of water...

This tells a very nice story, beautiful, I really like. I wonder if it would have been possible to have more of the child's reflection.

RichardFord said 980 days ago:

@Mumbler - this is about as good as the reflection can get I think...

Beamer said 980 days ago:

Ahhh, you're getting better at this reflection stuff!! Congrats!!

JeffBiset said 980 days ago:

Very beautiful pictures. Looks like it was taken in the 50's or 60's from subject and treatment.
Doisneau feelings.
