Going nowhere

This is my "push" challenge shot! I was challenged to do a high key shot by @aleksandra Aleksandra. This isn't technically a high key shot, I didn't have the right lighting setup. This is more of a high exposure shot but I love it anyway!
This is a pic of my two girls heading out to the beach at high tide! The waves came all the way up to the stairs! I tried to get a slow shutter shot without my filter but I ended up with this great blown out effect! I love how it looks like they are heading out to emptiness!
Thanks for the challenge, Aleksandra! I had a lot of fun with this!

Great use of the void and over exposure

Creative Jerry - don't you just love when you get a great result unexpectedly! The girls being on the 'edge' certainly does strike my Mommy radar :)

[samantha]

[Bobbyj]

wonderful capture Jerry

[Lara]

Super cute shot! Love the effect, very cool!

[Mick Porter]

I'd call it high key - there's so much sunlight on the sand, but the skin tones are still fairly natural. Cool shot.

[Kass]

Looks like the mist from Steven King. Watch out! ;-)

[Erica Waterer]

Looks like they are heading into the mist - just saw Kass's comments exactly what I was thinking

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Cool effect - looks like it's part of a dream.

cool

[Michelle]

I love this shot.. the over exposure gives it a eerie feel..

[Ameen Ramana]

love the shot...and esp b&w....

[Sheli]

It probably wasn't planned but it was a good thing the girls were wearing dark clothing to help with the contrast against the empty space. Wonderful shot.

[Yoori]

scary how it does look like emptiness! love the overexposure!

[LittleBlueWren]

Love this, the white space is great.

Great use of negative space. Fab shot xx

Nice! Sometimes trying to do such things like you did. You succeeded!

[Janelle]

Great shot Jerry. the white space is perfectly empty looking, like they are about to step off into an abyss

[Katia]

[Ade Akinyede]
