May 2012 Photography Assignment - Wide open aperture

[Marko]

Here's one I shot this weekend. I actually cooled the image down a wee bit.

Nice one Marko, Off to a life behind bars

Thanks Antz - it was almost too easy

... Off to a life behind bars

Bravo, Marko! Even though I don't agree with the sentiment I'm really impressed with this shot. Besides telling a story, you've managed to make the out-of-focus part of the image just as recognizeable and important as the area in-focus. That's a great lesson for us - thanks. Also, the positioning of the couple in the lower portion of the photo and the cooler tones gives me more of the feeling that the couple is attending a sombre funeral rather than a joyful wedding and emphasizes the implication.

I appreciate the comment Doug. I must admit, that when I have some time (the couple stood there for a few minutes) I am very slow and deliberate when I compose an image and I'm glad you find it interesting.

Hello Folks ! I haven't posted in a while, but have not completely disappeared With the start of May an warm weather I've been a bit more inspired, and took this shot in my friends' garden that I quite like. I thought the late afternoon sun lit up this tulip quite nicely.

Very nice additions, everyone... I've been slacking so much lately on the challenges.... I'll have to knuckle down and get some done!
