hello everyone,

this is what i intend to be the cover page of a friend's photobook. taken the photo while she was unaware, with the camera at low angle, without using the viewfinder.....surprisingly after viewing , it became my favourrite photo:)

i desaturated one later above the original in ps, the selected the eraser tool and deleted the socks. then created a little more nostalgic mood by adding a little reddish hue.

i think the photo represent many things, many adventures and the ups and downs that we have seen. i read an email that says, are u the carrot, egg or coffee - in boiling water, the hard carrot becomes soft, the egg which was liquid becomes hard boil, while the coffee beans changes the nature of the water.... it's when we meet adversity, how we deal and how we grow from there.....

hope you guys like it as much as i do. tell me what u think.

Hi Eleen, Very nice candid shot! did u use the focus lock for this one? very well control in DOF! I like much with the sephia & color mix mood much here. Very well done!

lovely composition which bears a lot of story in it. i love the low-angle choice here. the socks with black and red stripes really pop in this photo.

Hi Eileen, it is indeed a beautiful photograph. The selective desaturation works very well! Your name in the middle of the pic spoils it a bit for me though.

Hello Eleen... I do like the monocolour choice here... The emphasis on socks with colours is perfect... Great work...
