Wonderful shot Trace – Love the whole dreamy atmosphere and the pulled back saturation. The water looks like it is about to engulf them both, yet the shot seems so serene and peaceful – Great job
Yes. Great shot. ( In the wave I see those distorted letters which we have to copy now-a-days, on many websites, to stop spammers.) :) (She’s pointing to the letter B! )
Thank you first of all for visiting my portfolio Trace and leaving me with such beautiful feedback. I love your style of photography and this one is incredibly beautiful! The light and the glow that surounds the couple is so dreamy!
Hello Trace! How are you? I think your biopic is brilliant. Your daughter obviously has talent. I Like this photo very much. It does have contrasts and contradictions in mood. The figures seem to appear calm and tranquil and the light is reflected in the puddles on the sands, but out to sea a large wave rears up….........Fabulous!
This photo has such a wonderful feel to it! Innocence, and yet I sense their is a veil of protection over them both! :-) I like the photo very much Trace !!
Yeah this is it Trace! I think i linked off PV’s site. It really caught my eye. I’d love to go on about tonal range etc but lets face it; it’s just a stunningly atmospheric shot which really appeals; what more could you want?! Youth and the crashing waves….does life get any better? Love your work.
Beautiful photo!!! Quite the adventure right around the corner we could find anythings maybe a cave or a sand dollar….... Very expressive and I love it’s youth and sense of adventure.
Trace, you’ve done a great job of capturing a tender moment here. Lovely soft focus technique and great timing with the wave. Works great in monochrome. Nice work!
Trace, So many comments and all so true, All I can say is that I love the feel and mood of this image. I like the tonality and the composition. If I would have to make any changes to this image I would crop just a little bit from the left, and right at the intersection above between the light and dark waves.
Thanks for the comment. The crop is a wonderful idea; I know the kids are not in the right place technically. I may just do the crop. It will reduce the size of the image, but will look better to the eye. I tend to leave my photos as they are, but this one may be better, even with a smaller file size.
Thanks again! By the way, your cards were a hit with my friends!
