Description This is a special shot for me, cause it's the first picture I ever took I was proud of, taken two days after buying my first camera - Osaka.

For the theme set by *PhotographersClub the subission had to be on a theme which was actually a poem extract:

To see a world
in a grain of sand and
a heaven in a wild flower
hold infinity in the palm
of your hand and
eternity in an hour.

To me, this extract appeals to the innocence in those who look at life in more simplistic terms and for which everything holds a certain fascination (in basic emotions even though there may be far more to it) and for whom a joyous moment is not going to be ruined by the thought of when it will end, which makes me think of children, and this shot in particular because it is all about a single moment- a goodbye.

FULL VIEW PLEASE.

Amazing piece, would love to turn this into a painting using the figures if you don't mind?

This is beautiful!!! The emotion captured is brilliant! If there is one critique I have to offer, it's that I'm a tiny bit sad that the little girl's feet are cropped off in the bottom of the frame. That may just be me though.
It's a BEAUTIFUL photograph!

thank you so much, and yeah its a bit of a shame about the foot, but in my defense i had just pulled out my camera out of the bag, popped the lens cover and started firing away in the space of about 2 seconds so hopefully you'll forgive the framing

Great spot and well captured - amazing if it was really only two days into your camera ownership.

Well i think it was around 3:00 in the afternoon when i took this, and I opened up my shiny new toy the previous night at around 8:00. Being so clueless never quite got me so far .

Just shows that equipment, or familiarity with equipment, isn't everything

Good shot. Very dramatic. One thing that takes the drama away though is that it looks like the mother is on the phone .

fotocraft In reply to toQDuj [2007-09-16 14:22:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the comment . Yup she seemed like a busy person - on the phone, while riding her bike with 2 kids (the other is at the front in a basket between the handlebars). I don't think she even noticed what was going on behind her.

everything works in that shot....you could have cropped out that figure on the front right...but that's a matter of personal taste

I don't have time just yet but i'll try a version more cropped at the right later and see how it looks, although i don't want to crop too much as i do want to keep the image centered on the two girls without losing too much of the backdrop. thanks for the comment .
