You have to be daring to be a pioneer! Some experiments are just a learning experience - others are truly ground breaking. I think that sums up the difference between this shot and the next (Backstroke) just about right. --Olaf.dk
Thought Process:
Because it is an image of a child having fun, I went for the more high-intensity look of bold, bright, saturated colors and bright highlights. It seemed to give it more life and excitement and make it a more childlike world. ~ Lonnit
The framing doesn't work for me here - the head is too central. Trouble is, I can't seem to suggest any better crop. Also, the high contrast with burned highlights and over-saturated skin-tones is a turn-off for me. It seems you went a little overboard in post-processing... --Olaf.dk
