Title: Mother and child-4
Post by: RBSinTo on May 11, 2018, 03:59:04

Taken yesterday at Edward's Gardens here in Toronto.
 I had just received a lens that was repaired and went to the park to check it out.
 While walking around I spotted a mother playing with her infant child on the grass beside a bed of flowers. I was entranced by the mothers obvious loving and tender interaction with the child and grabbed this shot.

Nice shot, Robert.  I really like how you framed the scene with the flowers in the foreground.

Rick,
Thanks for commenting.
The composition was really just the luck of the draw.
I approached the pair along a sidewalk, and at the point where I passed them, there was a bed of daffodils between us, so when I grabbed the shot the foreground was established. All I did was a bit of cropping to remove a couple of distracting elements, and put the mother's head in roughly a thirds position.
Easy peasy.
Robert
