Young Dreamer by pflaume

Young Dreamer

My son and I enjoyed a great hike to a rock garden today. Lukas had a ball scaling giant boulders while I generally worried for his safety - and snapped photos, of course! This was taken at the start of the trail. He stepped perfectly into the frame of the jumbled barbed wire.

Top Twenty Week 149
This is a great "jumbled" photo. How on earth did the wire get THIS way?!!!?

@aglennc Thank you for the comment, Anita! I really don't know. It stood alone just as you see it. There wasn't a fence in sight.

Fav Lisa - fantastic shot and processing - and composition is amazing.
April 16th, 2013  
@ingrid2101 Thank you so much for your comment & fav, Ingrid. Means a lot to me! I am very much a beginner when it comes to processing. I have not taken the step to RAW yet and I edit my photos in Picasa. I know, very unimpressive, right? In Picasa, I have been playing with the cross processing feature which I used on this photo. There is a slider to control the intensity of the process and I have found the halfway to "normal" to be most pleasing to my eye. Still so much to learn and explore! My list is very long! I so appreciate your feedback and support!
April 16th, 2013  
Lisa this shot is stunning and I echo all the comments above! Wonderful framing, perspective and muted tones. :-)
April 16th, 2013  
A fav! Missed off the most important part!
April 16th, 2013  
Ha Lisa...I'm a little late :-))) just see it now for the first time (huh?)
but I agree with everything written above :-)
Really, really love this picture. Also a very good example again for your 'great eye for composition' FAV
