DavidAmosPhoto..., 5 months ago

Yes a completed story, although if I may just ad a tiny critique….. I would have used the same colouring theme as you did for the first one…. just teeney weeney!!

Basia McAuley in reply to DavidAmosPhotography’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks David, I actually struggled with that thought but decided against it as my reasoning was that once the dreary gate opened, it revealed new life on the other side which she was stepping into and therefore needed to be more animated.

zandria, 5 months ago

OMG, this is brilliant! I love the treatment. The fence is so large and dark, opening up to a bright world to discover and explore. She looks so tiny next to the looming fence, but full of wonder as she sees the light.

Basia McAuley in reply to zandria’s comment, 5 months ago

Thank you so much Zandria by your observation, I totally agree with what you have said.

Lynda (Lindy) ..., 2 months ago

This is a very effective image. Love your low angle, bright colors, and the slight bow to the uprights that frame the girls so nicely. Restricting the shadows to the “inside” and the vibrant hues to the “outside” give this a fairy tale feel. Well done.

Thank you so much Crowmanic! Well, personally I didn’t think that much of it until the feedback started to roll in!

John Hooton, about 1 month ago

I really like this, it has a sort of ‘Dorothy views Jurassic Park’ type of atmosphere about it and conveys the excitement of the ‘big wide world’ in a child’s eyes. Choice of lens and composition are ideal.

Chris Gin, about 1 month ago

Gorgeous shot!! Very awe-inspiring.
