Donald, excellent color, lighting, clarity and silhouette. #3023874Donald K. Cherry July 13, 2006
Thanks everyone for all the fantastic comments. This image was actually taken toward the end of Summer last year and has been posted in a slightly different version before (very astute, Pamela)!I was pushing Donna on the swing and was using her body to block the sun from my eyes when the idea struck me to try a silhouette into the ball of the sun. So, between pushes I snapped a few images and I really liked the result. I'm hoping that since I removed some anoying stadium lights from the original and adjust the crop and levels, it will be better received this time around! #3023928
