Description
This past weekend, my family and I decided to take Josh on a day trip to Vancouver BC (Canada) and we visited the Capilano suspension bridge. We were on our way back over the bridge to the gift shop and I decided that I wanted a perspective photo of the bridge. Josh had already started walking over it, so I took the photo with him, thinking I could always edit him out if I needed to. Best thing was that when I looked at the photo, I found that it was much better with him in it than without. I scaled it to grey, boosted the whites and darkened the blacks a bit, and added negative space to enhance the visible area. I'm happy- mostly because Josh likes it.

Hehe it amuses me how many people have mentioned this. I mean, okay I guess it's obvious, but... um... you know, I can't remember where I was going with that. Anyways, thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

I know others have already said it all, but here's one more. This is just a great shot. Very expressive. Very moving. I like it a lot. Well done!

Thank you very much. I know I've gotten about fifty comments saying that, but it's still nice to hear. Odd, you'd think the repetition might make it tiring or something.
But that's the novelty of the DD I guess.

Thanks.
Interesting choice of cameras there- I haven't heard much good about the Fuji Finepix, but I'd love the Canon.

Thank you.
To answer the question in your signature- I don't really get any strong bursts of inspiration. There are just moments where an idea suddenly pops into my head (though these are almost never followed through), or a situation simply presents itself in a coincidentally lucky way. It's more of a 'Eureka' kind of thing with me than anything else.

Jeje, acabo de visitar tu galerΓa, y me gustan mucho tus obras tradicionales. Como fotΓ³grafa, la mayorΓa de mis obras son fotos, pero siempre deseo que tuviera mΓ‘s tiempo para obras tradicionales. Por eso, creo que eres un poco ΓΊnica, y te animo a continuar.
Creo que voy a aΓ±adir "luz" a mis favoritos. Es una foto buena y muy hermosa- Β‘y la chica! QuΓ© preciosa.

Hehe that's a first. Most people who notice that seem to not like the excess black on the sides. Interesting to get another perspective.
Thank you!

Fantastic concept! It was very skilfully executed too. The contrast is great and the lighting is wonderful, too. Great stuff!

Hehe I just got lucky, and there weren't very many people there that day. It was kinda weird to see it so empty, but... who am I to question fate?
Thank you!

I like this picture ... nice quality ... the only thing what bother me is that it seems like to be so thin ... i think it would look better if you make less black space on the sides ...

Yes, I've seen that myself. Perhaps I'll update it, but I feel happy with it for now. If I ever put it up as a print though, I'll definitely take a closer look at the proof before I submit it.
Thank you!

hehe .. ya I love that picture, really ... if I look at it I imagine that that is the way to god or something like that ... and to have that as a poster on ur wall would prolly make a good mood! but anyway, good job

Hehe thanks. I'm not really religious, but I'll agree that the atmosphere of the piece would be nice for a quiet room.
