Oh oh ... what are they up to or are they just enjoying the view?! :) I've never asked or maybe you've mentioned it some where, but can't remember ... are they twins? Romantic picture with a great angle!

Roman from Thunder Bay, Canada
Very nice concept Madzia, hmmm.... but there's something that I can't put my finger on... At a first look I had trouble spotting the girls, the image seems very busy, they get lost... too much to look at... Remember, most often the brightest area of the image draws attention first and here it is your background, your subject, the bench with the girls, are in muted shade.
Perhaps using your pop up flash to fill the light and brighten the bench a bit would help. It would make the bench with the girls on it a little more prominent. Also, always watch for distractions in your shot, the little tree growing smack in between the girls.. recompose (ha ha , easier said that done, right ??)
Anyway, remember those tips on your next trip to the park
love ya all
cheers

@Roman: Thank you Roman! This helps me a lot since I don't "do" landscape shots - something I'm struggling with and get frustrated every time I try. I also feel like there is "something" to this image that doesn't give me the satisfaction like some of my portrait images do.... What I need to do is to go alone on those kinds of trips (no distraction of any kind!) and just practice, practice, practive....! ;) Your critique and helpful hints help tremendously! Thank you! :)
Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada

Gary Hart from California, United States
I'm just blown away by your images, Magda. So different from what I shoot. I have thousands of images of my family but they're all snapshots; yours are works of art. While I know I love my children every bit as much as you love yours, your children are blessed to have such beautiful evidence to cherish forever.

@Gary Hart: You are too kind Gary!!! I look at your amazing photographs and think: "wow, what a talent!" Hearing such positive feedback from you means a lot! :)
