Two Different Approaches



Let’s see, children, water and lots of space.  What does that add up to?  Da, FUN!
These two little girls had completely different approach to life.  The first girl was in constant motion.  She ran from here to there and back again—smiling all the time.
Our second young lady was much more cautious.  She was very curious about what the other young girl.  She watched her very carefully, but, when Girl #1 would come around, she would become super shy.  Although she was most interested in her newly found friend, she also kept looking over at dad for his reassurances. 



In both photos, I wanted to capture the essence of the girls.
Enjoy.
Camera settings:  Nikon D3, Nikon 50mm f/1.4 shot at ISO 800, f/5.6 and 1/125th of a second.
Post Processing:  
Lightroom—Set black and white points, adjusted hue and saturation of various colors and added clarity and mid-tone contrast.
Photoshop—used Topaz Adjust Pop filter to add detail to most of the photos.

  1. You definitely captured the two little girls' approach to playing in the water. I wished that you could have gotten both girls doing their thing in the same photo. The contrast would have made for a most interesting photo.

  3. The girl in the green shirt looks like she is having lots of fun while the other girl seems reluctant to go too far. Good combination of photos to tell a story.

  6. You do well on including a odd number of items in both frames. The color combinations fit.
