Date: Jul 25, 2006
Aperture: f/14

Apart from some spot healing brush to remove some sensor dust, and a pass with smart sharpen (radius 1, amount 100%) this is exactly as it came out of the camera.

The model is my son Adam (4), who was running on some rocks on Rhoscolyn Head in Anglesey, Wales. I think I got the basic idea for the composition from "Cowspace" by Remie.

A little more of the bottom and less of the sky would have given this photo more depth, in my opinion. Great idea though!

Awesome idea but too much free space for me.

Conversion to a high contrast image might have made this work a bit better. Or perhaps accentuate the sky with processing and then select the ground and runner and elevate the contrast and desaturated to a silhouette. Has potential.

for me the sky isn't interesting enough to warrant so much space devoted to it.

cool minimalism, i would try with postprocessing to eliminate the white light, brighten the dark areas and make it black and white, overall good photo i like it
