We live on a mountain, right at the top.

is that Tabletop mountain??? I keep dreaming of table top mountain since we when to toowoomba a while back… my daughter keeps telling us she wants to go back and climb it…

EdgeOfReality, 5 months ago

A lovely capture. I like how the wind’s blowing her hair and how she’s obviously enjoying the experience.

Damian in reply to kathleen’s comment, 5 months ago

No, but that’s a good idea for us to do :)
This is on the wall of a farm dam, so not giant, but enough to cause worry when she’s on top of it jumping up and down, LOL! That might be partly where the ‘Hyper-ballad’ link comes to me, I’m surprised she didn’t tumble down, heheh!

StacyLee, 5 months ago

I love the song Damian, and the picture is perfect! There is such a free-spiritedness that you’ve captured here… something I think we might lose in adulthood if we aren’t careful. Your little girl is so precious!

Carrie Glenn, 5 months ago

This is precious I really like the moment you captured; well done!

Lisadee, 5 months ago

Ok…love the play on the earth, sky, cotton printed fabric, her silhouette – the stands of hair…’that age’ being so precious.

When she has grown this image will no doubt tug ferociously at your heart strings Dad. Obviously love it Damien :)

mlgkats, 5 months ago

she is a beautiful little girl , and very nice capture, and i bet she takes after you

Kym Breeze, 5 months ago

This is great Damian she looks ready to jump….you have created a great image….the sky is perfect. the total effect is clever. -:) hugs to you all,

funkyfacestudio, 5 months ago

Fantastic shot, she’s is darling and the sky is magical !

warmsugarcube, 5 months ago

great photo. the light is beautiful and the clouds r amazing. the adjusted colour looks fantasitic, cold and metallic.

maybe you should give her some hubcaps or cutlery next time.. she looks like she’d be up for it :)

Emily Allison, 5 months ago

Excellent photo! :-)

Damian in reply to EdgeOfReality’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks, she was having a ball running around with her cousins :)

Damian in reply to StacyLee’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks Stacy, glad you like it! I think she was either landing or launching for a jump :)

Damian in reply to Carrie Glenn’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks Carrie, I was glad I’d taken my camera out with me :)

Damian in reply to Lisadee’s comment, 5 months ago

LOL, thanks Lisa! I was in a good spot with a tele lens to catch her antics (or her if she fell, LOL!). And you’re probably right about the shot when she’s grown (once I’ve got over her teen years though…!)

Damian in reply to mlgkats’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks Mel! And she does take after me in a lot of ways (for good or ill, LOL!)

Damian in reply to Kym Breeze’s comment, 5 months ago

Hi Kym! She does look like she’s about to leap off, I thought the same, LOL! Glad you like it :)

mlgkats, 5 months ago

youare so welcome , i can tell she takes after you fearless :)

Damian in reply to funkyfacestudio’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks Lisa!

Damian in reply to warmsugarcube’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks sugarcube! I had a few other versions I’d created, and this was midway on the spectrum between ‘looking normal’ and ‘rediculously overworked’, LOL!
And I’m sure she’d be up for action games :)

Damian in reply to Emily Allison’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks Emily!

Damian in reply to mlgkats’s comment, 5 months ago

LOL, thanks :)
She gets disappointed that she’s too small to do things, so she’s bound to cut loose when she’s able to!

warmsugarcube, 5 months ago

yep, in the middle is usually a good choice :)
i was referring to the song btw, about throwing little things off..

mlgkats, 5 months ago

you will have your hands full , but she will do a lot with you, your welocme

Damian in reply to warmsugarcube’s comment, 5 months ago

LOL, oops! I totally missed it :)

Damian in reply to mlgkats’s comment, 5 months ago

I got Hyper-Ballad in my head as soon as I read the title. It’s a really dynamic and moving image.

Mohamad Khaksar, 5 months ago

great!
how adorable damian…
dude,well done! very well done!

JaneAParis, 5 months ago

I love your photos, they are so real they make me feel that I am right there in them with her. I love the background clouds, and the way she is looking down at her feet atop the high hill, as if to make sure she has good footing. You have a beautiful model. I like the way you captured the wind in her hair too. It all pulls together to make me feel like she is queen of the mountain and she is checking on her perch to make sure all is right. Smiles from Jane.

Jing3011, 5 months ago

Very nice. Tells a story.

Julie Langford, 5 months ago

Wow Damian – this is something else – What an outstanding piece you have created here. I love the sense of height you have given [even without seeing it] – it makes me want to reach out and pluck her from harms way. Beautiful.

greenbeards, 5 months ago

the song is wonderful, I played it nonstop in college – the image, which also has a great movement to it, goes with it. very cool.

Jeff Burns, 5 months ago

Damian in reply to Paul Compton’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks Paul! And I’ve had Hyper-ballad rotating through my head all day, LOL!
