Giggle of Girls [Contest Finalists June 2005]
Uploaded: June 11, 2005 01:11:04
You've heard of a gaggle of geese; how about a giggle of girls? These are flower girls Abigail and Maggie busting a move behind the bride.
40.3mm 1/50 f/2.4 ISO 120. Available window light. Enhanced in PSP9.

I added some glow to this one. The other is still in my gallery; which do you like better? I entered this one because the colours were warmer and I like the glow. The downside is that their dresses are pretty blown, especially Maggie's there in the back. Do you find that distracting? #261565Sandy Landon June 11, 2005
I really like this one. IMO her dress is not distracting to me because she is in softer focus so I didn't expect to see the details as much. Love the warmer tone and the glow. Great expressions on the face. Great photo. #1457135Protacio Serna June 11, 2005
I like both versions.Regards.

I want to be a REAL photographer like you! ("not a REAL photographer"--my hind leg!)I think you pulled this one off perfectly ... part of me wants to put Maggie's head top on ... but ... technically her missing top is part of what accents her face and giggle.
LOL I bet they continued to be the best of partners in crime as all the proceedings continued. It's not just their giggle ... such anticipation ... hard to find in the face of the "mature"
have fun,

Ok Amanda, I take back my comment from the other day. :-) Apparently you CAN improve this shot! LOLThe glow is the perfect touch to this wonderful shot. The blown highlights don't detract me in the least. I think it sort of adds to the general glow this whole picture has.
LOVE IT! #1457823

so sweet, great shot. #1459343Amanda Price June 11, 2005
Wow, thank-you all for the overwhelming response! Pam, you weren't far off about their antics, but this was after the wedding when the pressure was off. Maggie was a perfect angel and did her duties very well, wooden smile and all! Abigail on the other hand, hadn't been able to make it the rehearsal so she sorta freaked out when they were coming down the aisle. Maggie continued on sort of pulling Abigail along, while Abigail's mom pushed her forward from behind. It was a classic flower girl moment! I'll upload a pic I've been working on. Have a great weekend everybody! #1459572Diane Addonizio June 12, 2005

Congratulations on such a beautiful image! Great work! #2103823Dennis Flanagan December 31, 2005
I really like this photo too. I don't see it as a photo of two girls though. I see it as a photo of the dark haired girl with others in the background. The focus on the first girl makes it about her. #2239762Amanda Price January 04, 2006
Thanks to you all! Dennis, I think perhaps you are right. :) #2253211Ray Clarke January 05, 2006
