Title: Curiosity + young minds
Post by: Anirban Halder on August 29, 2015, 05:45:14
I took this picture in Orlando Disney-world. This particular spot/log-cabin was at a higher elevation and the window was providing a beautiful view outside. These two curious minds not only grabbed the view, they made themselves comfortable around the cannon.
I had a point-n-shoot Canon S80 that moment. I know noise is too high but I liked it this way.

I can only see the first picture. it seems that downloading times are very long today (not sure if it is the site or my connection).
It is a charming moment, and who care about noise, what would it change to have a perfectly clean picture?

Another mind, who is young at heart eyeing at his "Kulfi"...
"Kulfi" popular frozen dairy dessert from the Indian Subcontinent. It is popular throughout places such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Burma (Myanmar), and the Middle East, and sometime available in Indian restaurants in Australia, Europe, East Asia and North America.

As popularly understood, Kulfi has similarities to ice cream in appearance and taste; however it is denser and creamier. It comes in various flavours. The more traditional ones are cream (malai), rose, mango, cardamom, saffron , and pistachio. Unlike ice creams, kulfi is not whipped, resulting in a solid, dense frozen dessert similar to traditional custard-based ice cream.

From the series I like the woman meditating by the sea side. A very daring composition of shadow cuts, her pose giving a calm tone to the whole. Something different.

Thanks a lot, Frank! She indeed was performing Yoga on the beach. I'm glad you noticed that. I didn't think it was obvious in the photo. :)

Very nice one with the young lady on lighted background :-)  50 years ago they were more Radjgullabs and less electricity for the fridge in the streets !!! :-) But that was a nice shot, though it might have been in winter ?

Thank you Jacques! :) You are right. I was shot during winter. Many of these guys use unauthorized electricity by directly putting a hook on the overhead electricity line.  ;) Someday I've to take a pic of one of those.

Yes, the "shadow theater" by the see makes a wondeful little story.
I am still debating with myself whether a tiny bit less of the dark area on the right side would improve the image...

Or a bit more black on the other side to balance. Yet, these kind of unusual compositions are very difficult to judge because we do not really have a lot of experience neither in seeing them not in taking or editing them

Thanks Olivier, Frank. I too thought about cropping at first to balance the black parts, but then I liked the original as-is too.
