nice catch, shame about the focus.

Nice.......GL

Now....thats a beautiful photo author!!!

thank you, that is praise indeed from the master of light and dark..

I love the lighting game!

Love the mood.

looks like a painting..lovely

Highlights are blown and it is a little oof but hope he had the desired affect on his girl

Nice....Hope his girl got impressed by the stunt....

nice. It is nice and crisp but agree with mellanieb about blown but disagree about being out of focus--the subject is very focused.

nice catch. You might be able to lower the blown out elements by playing with curves and levels a little

thank u kyricom, never done it before, hope it has helped,

Hmm Impressive

Yes... this looks much better. Good luck

Mellanie, you can't focus in on something close up and far away at the same time. Of course the background is going to be OOF. It actually improved the focus on the main subject. I think you need to find your glasses.

Congrats for your second place, Smokebigbird!

Congrats!

thanks a big thank u to kyricom for his help in fixing this photo
