"I must control myself... don't push her... dn't push her...."

Very simple but enjoyable.

Beautiful use of empty space.

Awesome colours too, *thumbs up*

Who is she anyways?

did you photoshop this, because the colors are fantastic! I like all the motion in the picture, really makes it awesome. But easily the best part is that one cloud up top, for some reason it really does it for me. By the way, what new camera is this? If it's digital, it must be an SLR.

thanks for the great comments everyone, I appreciate them! :love:

unchew - that's my daughter, Emily.

radio - I don't do anything to my photos other than crop, border, levels, or color correct...EVER. I'm not really into post-processing (though for some urban stuff it looks cool), so I don't do much. This shot was framed exactly as you see it, no cropping in pshop. The only setting I tweaked was the curves to bring her out a little because she was so dark in front of that sky. ;)

very nice, a minimalist. Nice to see someone who still values just a simple photograph. But you didn't tell me what you are shooting.

glad you liked the photo, thanks a lot. :D

LoL... :lol:... Am I the only one that finds that really funny? ^^ Almost like sayin... I don't do anything to cook dinner, I just get the pan, turn on the oven, put the food in, watch it, stir it, season it, take it off when it's done :P. That's pretty much all ya can do :P

Anyway, I like it a lot... the background is really kewl. I live in a city where the scenic crap is non-exisiting, I would love to be able to just walk out into a sunset and see a sky like that.

BTW... you want to sell me your old camera? :) I'm sure you don't need it anymore.

^:lol: ..

nice pic unflux:thumb: so you finally got your new camera!! sweet, bet your loving it! cant wait to see some of your crazy clarity macro shots. :beam:

[UNFLUX]

what i'm saying is, I didn't manip the image in a way that isn't true to the original shot. Adjusting color or shadows is normal to the darkroom process, so I'm as true to that with photoshop in digital form as I can be. Nothing I do to enhance my photos is any different than what can be done in a darkroom. ;)

so THERE! ;P

Nice picture Unflux :thumb:! Curves is a powerful tool, I now get why the blue cloud on top is so bright :lol:.

Looks great *resists to push her*.

i only adjusted the curves 6 points, so it's pretty close. She was just really dark in front of that sky so I had to pull her out a little bit. Thanks for the comment. ;)

Awsome stuff Unflux, but why did you LET your daughter hang precariously on what looks to be a cliff? :h:
