Description
Last Sunday, my friend Randy (Vaggabondd) came over, and we spent quite a bit of time taking pictures at the beach.
He took this shot, and I loved it, and couldn't keep my little postwork fingers to myself. I did a few things to it, he made some suggestions, we sent it back and forth, and this was the result.
There was a red rock, or piece of brick, in the original that Randy really liked. He added that back in as a final step, and I thought it looked cool.
He wanted to call this "Schindler's List" because of the red bit in the otherwise monotone image, but I'm not a movie person, and have no idea what he's on about. He PROMISES me you'll get it!
So we arm wrestled for the title, and I won. :)
Oh ... and as Randy always says,
"I hope everyone likes it."

nice mood, great composition
first of all everyone knows I am a gentleman and I let you win the arm wrestling hahaha. and you know I love the art work. this was a lot of fun working together on this shot. and I do hope everyone likes it haha. nice job my friend
Great collaboration for this moody image. I like the sepia tones and the red touc of color ! A great idea !
I get it! Great piece of excellent collaboration. Mike
Superb image my friend, excellent work !!
I think my only observation is I love the birds - they add a little something and create more interest. But they ought to be more defined so they can be seen better. Other than that, I love the monotone and the appearance of the single red stone. Great job you guys!
select his hat might work
Randy's title would have fitted too, that's a ghastly scene with the red coated little girl, but this is a Joyous image, great postwork between you two, the sepia and the red colour pop is a grand idea, congrats :) to you both
Wonderful Scene composition, very expressive. Love it
nice work
Wonderful mood. Captures like this tell a story. Very nice post work and all around work!
A lonely walk..... Aloha
very nice work and great mood !
Looks like Los Dos Colaboradores have put their heads together and come up with a winner! Having been a participant in a few solitary beach walks, I love the mood you captured. I get Randy's title (I'm thinking of a little girl in a red coat with a monotone group of people behind her) but I think yours is a bit more apropos. Glad you're good at arm wrestling... :o)
Excellent!
Stupendous image!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Tara Oh, how fun and thanks so much for the smile this is really too cool sweet smile to you :-) warm hug and love, Linda
excellent shot !!!
What a great team effort! Just love the result! xx
great result love it well done cj xx
Brilliant! It's worked so well! I didn't see the film so your title works for me!
This is a fine and powerful capture, expressive in its title and contents.The collaboration must have worked perfectly ! Congratulations!
That's a splendid collaboration shot ;O) Love it!
Wonderful capture and the title fits so well. The image conveys so much emotion and the bit of color is so effective. Great collaboration, you two!
LOL ! A wonderful story to this beautiful scene. I like it very much and the red stone or brick it perfect there.
You certainly captured the title, well done!
You two make a great team! Fantastic capture and postwork!!
If you have never seen 'Shindler's List' Tara, you want to rent the DVD and watch it, it is a very moving film about the 'Jews' and how Shindler saved so many by having them work for him in his factory. It is hard to try and explain the film in so few words, it was I believe based on a true story, and I can see where Randy is reminded of the film with the one red rock in the monotone image. Excellent capture and postwork, a real joint effort. Bravo!!!!!
You both did good....looks cold there..we have had 80 plus yesterday and today..
Wonderful, wonderful image ;)
