Superb thought process to composition to end result as only expected from you. Sepia is excellent as it portrays the photo is from the early 20's era. I know the title is called 'flying dream' but my only concern is the composition is a bit confusing to me. The shoes and legs are suspended at a height that the viewer(me) is searching for an element that suggests what the child (based on shoe size) is hanging or swinging from. I would like to see simular application(with chain element) applied with a childrens park theme in the background. POTD for sure. - ZipperZ

I want the shoes.

A really effective imaginary-world feeling to this one! It's funny and a little unsettling at the same time. Great idea!

Made me laugh Shay! Not to mention that I love the Pike Place Market. Next time I'm flying I'll join you there... lol Ann C

A great busy B&W shot. And the feet add that perspective, I love the title and the high view point. Great capture and imagination. Jon M

To convert to B&W I used the channel mixer set to monochrome with red=44, green=33, blue=23. - Shay

Nice capture, I really like the tones of the BW. Can you please share how/values you used to convert to BW?

Very interesting perspective here that's nicely captured...really effective tones and composition too...what a great vantage point...or am I having a dream? :) Good idea, Shay. MFC
