Relishing my new-found freedom during the summer days (thanks to shift changes at work!) we dived out into the fields & woods too. Got this one of Shelby while she was sitting on the grass with a tactful 'ooh, look over there' - gullible kid did it, too.... I'm sure people in the gallery will think I'm copying Jack, but honest, I didn't browse the pictures and see his until after I'd posted this!

TOO cute!!! Aww damn sniffle sniffle I wish I was a little kid again, I wish I did in fact 'look over there!' and I wish I could sit down in a field full of daisies and do absolutely nothing and just marvel at the wonders of life. sob snif brrrrrrrrrrt (sorry, blowing my nose :P) Really, it's beautiful. Makes me want to be a little kid again....life's so cruel!!

Hum, I learned all that too, when I learned about filming. (I do occasional work for a TV station here) If that was a shot I did for them, there would be a lot less headroom and the feet would definitely be left in, but to me the picture works really well the way it is. Hmm but now that you mention the thing about the feet...damn damn damn, I've been brainwashed. Don't you just hate that, watching TV or something and analysing every frame you see? Or is it just me again, hehe.

Yeah, I see what you're saying guys, and that is a point I'll remember - I was going to include her feet, but the position she had them in was wierd and spread out a little bit, so it made her body look very triangular - as if I'd used a perspective filter or something - so I decided it looked better like this. Thanks, though! Mike.

Beautiful pic, and I agree Alpha. Those missing feets are disturbing fragile balance of this pic. Gaze cant wander freely. And, I would try add small amount of blur to green areas, to bring up this beautiful little lady. -Niko
