"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.� ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948)
My daughter Kyra at the base of a Baobab tree. I duplicated the image to a new layer and converted it to B&W; then erased out the blossom in her hand so that the color version beneath showed through. A little mirroring was done on the left to extend the trunk a bit. Please view full size for the best detail. ------

Oh now she is so cute Kort, you must be a real proud daddy! Excellently composed, you've obviously trained her well how to pose for you. The details in the tree trunk are brilliant and nicely done with the mirroring too. I love Mohandas K. Gandhi's quote - I must remember that one! Excellent B&W (I really must learn how to get such good tones and contrasts in B&W!) and nice use of selective colouring. xx

What a sweet shot. Your daughter is sooooo adorable, and this capture,is beautiful. I love the wonderful textures in this, but she looks so sweet there in her wee dress and anklets that she's all I can focus on. Nice touch with the selective coloring. This one's a keeper, Korterator. -M :^)

This would not have been as good without the selective color. As it is presented here, it is a rich, warm and endearing photo.

Looking at the lovely photo of your daugther , once more we remember how Ghandi's words are always relevant . Thanks for sharing .

With all due respect, old Mohandas K. Gandhi has a lot to learn about human nature. He would be spinning in his grave if he took a look at civilization today. Anyway, great rock texture and lighting effects in this poignant capture, Kort. The cute little gal came out magnificently.

....adorable daughter - wonderful photo & postwork.

Exquisite work, Kort. I think you made just the right choices here. The clarity and hardness of the textures keep the image from becoming soft and give it all the more impact. A real classic! Spielberg would be proud... ;o))
