Playing With Shadows, a photo from Ibiza, Balearics

Photographer's Note

Hello Everyone,

Don't you just love to see the antics of children, they are so innocent and can make just about anything into a play situation.

This little girl (beautifully dressed in red) was at a wedding and was quite bored (I will show as a workshop) with the whole procedure. Sitting about waiting does not bode well with children!

She suddenly noticed the differences in light and shadows created by the strong sunlight and proceeded to skip in and out of the shadow, sometimes making her own shadow!

I wish you a good weekend, Bev :-)

Hello Bev,
She's a cute little girl, but of course it's the red dress - along with her playful attitude - that made her perfect for a photo. You managed a very good exposure, even though it was the contrast between shady and bright areas that seems to have fascinated her. The diagonals of the tiles and the tables give the photo a nice structure and she is well placed slightly to the side. The WS is nice too, but at that moment she's obviously thinking "We are not amused".
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Bev
This is charming. I just love the expression on her face. The red dress certainly makes a statement.

Pozdrav.

Lep pogled i trenutak, dobar tekst ...
lepo dete sa crvenom haljinom, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i uhvacenim trenutkom.
Dobar rad sa fotografijom u radionici.
Dete uziva u suncanom danu igrajuci se sa senkom.
Zelim vam lepo popodne, sve najbolje za vikend.

Hi Bev,

You have captured well the concentration of the child. The point of view is showing the details of her dress. The light is giving good colors rendering. Have a nice day.

Hello Bev,

I find your both picture nice taken an excellent moment.
I as man shall never children photographing, the legislation is very strict in Belgium, especially as a man.
Nice sharp and clear portraits.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hello Beverley,
A very good photo of this girl in red. The stark contrast between the sunlit parts and the shadows of the umbrellas is excellent and you captured the girl very well just inside one of the shaded areas. The expression on her face is also clearly visible.

Hi Bev,everything is good for inventing a game, but we photographers too often play with shadows, and sometimes we hate them..ahhaa..but this time they are perfect, both for the pastime invented by the bored child, and to create a very original composition ! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

hello Bev, I hope you have fully recovered from your illness. Cute little girl, with her angel-like face and beautiful curly hair. and the red dress just calls for a picture. I do not wonder she is bored with the wedding ceremony. I would be too :). After long months of staying at home, I finally travelled a bit. What a joy!
Have a nice Sunday
