Waiting in the Leaves by kwind

Waiting in the Leaves

This is my daughter patiently waiting for me to finish taking photos. I forced her and her brother to come with me to a spot filled with yellow/brown leaves. I was hoping to get some sibling love shots but they weren't having any of it!! Kids!!! Instead, I got her legs... no attitude coming from them! It was on a rather busy street so they were mortified to be standing on the side of the road.
Great shot, and I had to laugh at your story.. :-)

A good photographer has to know how to improvise when their models go prima Donna on 'em. You passed (lol).

Love it! The colors and the bokeh rock!
October 15th, 2012  
Too funny. Made for a great shot.

Terrific shot! I spent the weekend with my boys and ended up taking pictures of dogs because they would not cooperate. Wish i had thought of your way! A fav!

Thanks great. My kids are not keen of photo excursions either.
October 15th, 2012  
I so hear you Kim, on your commentary......just a little bit of participation in your photo shots would be good, but noooo. lol. I have the same with my two but I really like what you came up with. The brightness of theleaves agaisnt the dark legs look brilliant.
October 15th, 2012  
Such a fantastic shot filled with so many drawing points. Love the DOF and bokeh!
October 15th, 2012  
Very cool dof
October 15th, 2012  
Beautiful colour and bokeh. And the blue is very striking against the green and orange-yellow.
October 15th, 2012  
Haha. Great story. Were they more mortified by the fact that you were just about probably lying in the road? Lovely autumn colours
October 15th, 2012  
Great narrative! nice shot, too.
October 15th, 2012  
Ha! I can just imagine it!! Love her blue shoes, they really set off the colours :)
October 15th, 2012  
Very pretty. Fav. Funny how photograper-moms can give kids an anxiety when shooting.
October 15th, 2012  
Love the focus & colors! Great composition too!
October 15th, 2012

October 15th, 2012  
Interesting POV !
October 15th, 2012  
I love this POV! With my old p&s I used to be down low all the time since it had a tilt screen. Miss that feature on my current DSLR!
October 16th, 2012  
Great story. Gotta love them. Nice photo.
October 16th, 2012

Love this! Very nice fall shot!!

You ended up with a creative autumn shot as a result!

October 17th, 2012  
Nice pov and the whole composition! In spite of all your thoughts about kids they certainly helped you in doing such a fine photo!
October 17th, 2012  
I like it --the bokehs are lovely and i like the contrast of the clean lines of her skin meeting the capri pants.
October 17th, 2012  
The colours are wild, so pretty right now. I love your story. I did the same with my kids today... haven't checked out my shots yet though. I won't rub it in if my sibling love shot worked out though.. If their faces don't work then their feet are the next best thing :)
October 18th, 2012  
I just love this one. Fav for me.
October 18th, 2012  
The leaves of the pavement and roads look great don't they - lovely
