Yes, that feeling of rush has been conveyed nicely....and how serendipitous that her bag says "DASH".

I wonder if anyone will comment on the tilt, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I too tilt images as this out of the box thinking helps to propel ordinary into another realm. We can feel the speed of your daughter's shopping spree and the joy and freedom of being able to purchase with aplomb goods that many in this world could never dream of purchasing.

There is something magical that happens when nature meets humanity, a secret communication of respect and love and that is what we see in this lovely photograph. The colours are perfect her plaid shawl suitable for the outdoors, reminiscent of a lumberjack and that Whiskey Jack is quite enthralled with her gentleness and beauty. Top notch.

Congrats to you too!

Although the finish product here is good,can,t help but feel b/w wpould have been more hard hitting

I like old buildings like this... nice capture..is it abandoned?

I really am drawn to the dappled effect of these stairs and the glow for it makes them otherworldly. What a great catch for this fine art photograph!

Congrats

Congrats! Looks so Canadian...brrrrr.

Canada has legalized pot ! (did you get it)

Hahahahahahaha... that's hilarious Olga.

I knew it was Ottawa because of all the marijuana growing around the boardwalk!

Looks a lot like Point Peely (sp?) south western Ontario. Nicely composed with good lead lines. Sharp through all the planes of the image. Good usage of dof!

I am curious about what is growing all around the boardwalk?

Nice shot and P.P.

A lovely camaraderie is caught here in the interaction these fellows are having, after the call. Nice photo . hmmmm 911....must be Canadian!

A Monet painting for sure! Good eye for seeing this beauty.

Certainly interaction between the firemen,tells a story

Does look a healthy thing to do,even if its a bit cold

Likke this one and looks quite a unique place

My computer has a crazy ghost controlling it....sorry.

Every big girl has done this when they were a little girl so we females can all relate to the story of this image. You do have significant ghosting around the child due to the strong white light bouncing off her dress.

How interesting that the Swede's flag is blue and yellow and so is this Swede's shoe! Classy and shot at the pov that engages the viewer instantly. I wonder had you cropped down a bit more if that would make the shoe pounce out at us even more? The marginal Negative space at the top is quite pronounced. This photo reminds me of medieval torture, how painful it would be to walk in these shoes.

Congrats for this one

Congrats!

Staged and well done. You have found a great character to shoot and wow what a story this tells. She hears the beat of a different drummer and there is no foolin around. I like this for the story, the look of the model, the colour palette, the light from the window...heck I like everything about this shot.

I wish I could tell you on how to improve this image...I CAN"T...beautiful in sepia, showing great skin tones, diffused background and I think the crop is perfect with her looking into all that negative space. This is a well thought out image with technical elements nicely handled.

Yes, I saw that ship, didn't know it was a cruise ship tho'.

EGADS this is really lovely. I love the colours and the night shot...makes it rather romantic...you romantic you.

Think this has been thought through,and although there is negative space,the fact she is looking that way,adds a good effect.

I like the softish light in this and like the impish look in her eyes,different

Good image. Beautiful, thoughtful face and nice 'soft' background. Might it be better with some of the right hand area cropped out so that the image was square?

Great character - good light on the folds of her dress. You wouldn't mess with this lady.

I bet I could eat this whole thing in one sitting. When we come back to Canada, we will visit you when your wife makes this decadent delight. A splendid upload that is sharp and delightful to behold. I also like how you included all the surrounding information, candle, classy table setting.

I just don't understand how any hunter can see this beauty and kill it....unless you are a First Nation (what a dopey PC title). ooops I'm rambling. I love this shot, the Canadian feel to it and the focal point sharp, so sharp it melts my heart. Your exposure is really well done too for that deer is crystal clear.

I have checked to see if you have a blow out on the white and you do not! It is simply a delightful image that would make a great Xmas card. I love the mood you caught, the bokeh is perfect and the colour coordination is sublime. I have a feeling this could take first spot.

Oh gosh, this would make a great Xmas card. How much these two are loved is so felt upon viewing. Nice that you came down to their level. I do think it is a bit soft but sometimes when you have such sweet focal points we have to ask ourselves, does it matter?

So cute

That looks GREAT! *drool*

Yes, I seem to remember something "special" about them. Thank you for enlightening me. I like the tonal quality of your image you have a good range there.

OH OH OH OH ONTARIO. Are these trillium considered endangered?

It is difficult to judge the sharpness because the image is very (too) small...

Achhhh, I see it now but it is a "tow away zone" sign....no big deal. thanks

Attached to the aluminium post, it is white with a red circle, over the white haired and bearded man.

EGADS Sylvie, I can't find the sign, where is it?

Toronto indeed,you can read it on the "no vending except by city permit" sign. Maybe it was on the No Cellphone Day. Maybe some people are hiding, texting or giving phone calls, behind the pillars. I suspect the walking backpacker, and they could be 3 or 4 behind the big concrete thingy.

What, nobody is on their cellphone? What century was this taken and where - Toronto? Just curious as this could be my old home town.
