Unseen, unheard, alone, misunderstood- this piece really and truly encapsulates what it's like being a child (whose unfortunate)- hehe. Great piece- well done you.

This is such a great shot! It really captures the mood that you convey in your title. It's also a nice twist on your style of color saturation.

This is really sweet and innocent-feeling. I like the soft colors. The composition is great; the shot really makes you remember when you were only three-foot-six.

Ahh... yes, I do recall the point in my childhood when everything seemed huge, important, and exciting. How come everything gets hard after that? lol Very nice job! I must say, as much as I liked your other works, I like your new choice of content!

love it.. nice shot.. totally captured the moment..
i wonder how the kid looks like..
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
i love photographing kids, because you never know what they'll do. and unlike with adults, it's easier to get them candid because even if they see the camera, they lose concentartion and start being kids again. nice composition cutting off all the heads and bodies of the grown-ups. kid's eye view.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
exactly - adults get all apprehensive and uptight when a camera shows up. They have much more interesting faces - but they never seem natural. Kids on the other hand come alive in front of a camera.
The main thing i have a problem with is that I feel like im a perv for taking photos of these kids hahahaha. I think the parents think so too lol.
oh well! i got my shots anyways

Very well done. I love your photography, it's beautiful. If only my computer was faster I'd add more to my favourites right now.

Very noticable are the veins on the leg on the right... I think whatever you do to your pictures make them stand out more.
Good story, though. The kid looks like he's enjoying the hell out of walking with all these people.. with his little ice cream cone..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
those ice cream cones were so friggin awesome. I wanted one pretty bad.
And yeah her veigns were like BLARRLGGLLGE LOOK AT ME.
stupid veins

The selective coloring is really cool. Maybe there could be a little more contrast, but that's just minor. I remember how it was, being small and feeling surrounded by giants all day. Weird - I haven't thought of that in years... Thanks man.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
just thought id tip you off - i didnt desaturate or "selectively color" anything in the shot - i took it stock and resaturated it. The camera just really liked her veins
i started to add a tad bit more contrast but i thought it was a bit dark...so i decided not to. *shrug*

I remember when things were like that in my life... It was so much simpler

hehe yeah - the ice creames were so awesome. They were kid sized....but regular sized relative to the kids (go figure right?)
glad you liekd it
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
you need to tell me your trick, im going INSANE!
Im currently assuming upping the red levels, desaturating the picture and darkening the blue levels?
am i close?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol
not even close
try take photo - auto color it - hue/saturation --> saturation +40 - adjust contrast - frame it - post
the key: i take mine in infrared

Just look at America's obesity rate surrounding the kid. McDonalds will corrupt that boy by the time he's thirteen. No really, good capture. I miss being young... everything is easier and lots more fun. And I like the blue
