I shot this one of LeAngel this morning. Here is she carefully making her way around and over some wet rocks next to the creek.

I was scared for a minute there MA. Thought you were going for one of those ripped pants shots again. If there is anything I have to say about this, its that she is too centered. Exposure is good, but doesn't motivate me like some of your other work. Was this taken with a P&S? Looks a little too fast and short dof to be a P&S.

Technically the image is fine, compositionally I agree, the subject is too centred, but overall I don't get much from it. Agree that it lacks the 'punch' of your other work.

It's DSLR JJ.

I just fired it off in a split second as I was crossing the creek and noticed LeANgel doing her thing there down stream from me. About a second or so later she had jumped down and was out of shot. I really gave no thought to composition other than getting her in frame.

What I liked about it myself was the almost 3d effect of the foliage in front of her and the rock in the background etc.

Thanks for the comments guys :)

i see what you mean with the 3rds effect - the foliage & rocks look great... maybe you shoulda given her a quick construction workers whistle to get her to look over her shoulder before you snapped the shutter, and that wouldve improved the overall scheme of things :)

That's exactly what LeAngel would do too! :rolleyes:

She has two HUUUUUUGE brusies on her legs from last week where she slipped a leg between two rocks and then fell forward. I grabbed her pants and yanked back so her body weight didn't snap her leg. Thankfully the bruise was the only damage.
