...but it makes for great subject matter. ;') I kind of like the symbolism of this image -- the road ahead not being easy, but leading ever upward. In postwork I wanted to retain the look of a photo yet at the same time give it an almost illustrative quality. It is a tough balance to acheive. ------

He might NOT be scared of going higher, but instead waiting for his buddies to turn up and show them what he can do...it's a lonely business having to wait ! Thought provoking capture. ~Cheers~ :o)

a feel-good shot. Love the compo and the b/w is perfect.
I really like this. There are so many elements in this shot that I keep having to go back and have another look. The child sitting on the bottom step really leads you into the picture. Great piece of b&w photography. Well done! Eileen xx
Good photo!!!! Shadows and a relief are remarkable!
Very nice composition... shadows are very graphic!
A fabulous looking BW composition! Wonderfully done!!!
Excellent composition. Very nice the B&W.
This pulls at my heart. Would love to hug the little guy. Your technique adds a kind of atmosphere...the lighting and color...that highlights the angst. Excellent. The worst playground angst I had was from the boys sneaking up on the girls and dropping big, black, hairy caterpillars down their blouses, then smashed them on their backs. Gee, what angst that was! You had to be like Linda Blair on the playground. LOL! Hugs, Suzanne
A wonderfull compo in B&W that I like very much Kort ! Splendid !
I love the tones to this shot and the slight graining effect. Lovely composition too. An excellent eye for a piece of art in the making you have there Kort. xx
I love the shadow to light balance in this. Excellent work, Kortalouche!
Awesome composition, light and B&W mood!!!
Very interesting point if view:) ! A strange playground device!! Very awesome!!!
Good subject, and aptly carried through to match your idea. The shadows are kind of like black water caustics on the sand, which gives the whole thing a rather dreamlike quality. I don't know: To me it's got French New Wave writ all over it.
Very nice work!
Great eye... this is wonderful!
wonderful compo ! excellent light ! Bravo !
Wonderful work!!!!!!!!!!!!
The use of line & light comes through really well in this. It's tough choosing how far to push the postwork. Nice one!
A very nice capture!
Awesome picture~
Wonderful! I love the postwork and the intensity in it.
Wonderful study of human contrasted against artificial geometry in this shot! Fine light and shadow effect.
He is very occupied on something to not play on this play ground. Excellent. Aloha
