[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Two days ago my eldest grandson got his foot stuck in the wheel of an old bike. His mothers bike has all kinds of protection on it to prevent just that. So he was brought to hospital, X-rays were made and probably nothing is broken, but they can not be sure, so maybe he has to go back, he hurts and has a high fever, so of course I was over there all day yesterday. Tried to make pictures with Myriam on my lap, but for me my camera is heavy holding it with one hand.
So yes, I did see a lot of fingers and toes, but my focus really was on Lucas and his pain. Will put a collage of yesterday in the WS.
This one is HPP - Trousers from another picture where I used relief - then cloned in her legs and painted in a shadow under the trousers. But have to say my mind was constantly drifting away to Lucas and his swollen foot.
Take care of your little ones and stay healthy.

welke omstandigheden...Dat voetje
staat er wel goed op hoor!

hello Els
so sorry for the baby, he must be playing and this has happened.
you know yesterday my one year daughter was having dinner with me and i had a small chilly in Salad. i do not know how she managed to grab that chilly and eaten it. and you can imagine what has happened after that. we had to give her lots of sugar and lots of water and what not!
but tell you the truth this is a hell l ot of fun to see these kids doing silly things.

regards
God Bless your family.

Hi Els,
Sorry for the pain that a little baby had to bear but congrats on such a beautiful shot you managed to capture, despite you were so involved in the small child's injury and so on.

Really a great shot.

Kisses to small baby and love from Pakistan

Hi Els,

Poor Lucas! I remember many bicycle and other accidents with my boys. They recover fine, but it's during the time they are ill that the parent (and grandparents) suffers too. Tell him speedy recovery wishes from the U.S.

Your photo of the baby is great. Terrific post processing work. You certainly have a talent for it. Dark background really brings out the colors. Nice images in workshop too. Lisa

Aren't those the most adorable little feet! :)
Such a cute posting!
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandson, I hope he'll get well soon.
Best regards to you and Lucas,
Diana

Hello Els

What an adorable shot, babies feet are just so cute and sqidgy and you captured this little darling perfectly.

Really sorry to hear about the accident I hope the patient is recovering well.

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Excellent PP work Els both in this image and the collages. 26 years ago on the 24th of this month since I saw my youngest son's toes but they were never dainty like this. TFS,
David

Hi ELS:
A composition done in Pink and black, a pink nightie and pink tootsies against a black background.The focus is impeccable here Els as is the comp and framing on the canvass.... This photo takes me back years....... thanks Els.....Roman:0)...PS don't worry about the young lad,if he hasn't broken anything then he will be ok... I've done that myself many many times and not long ago either.

Oh Poor Lucas! Els I really hope it not anything serious!


Her chubby little toes look perfect in your HPP shot :)

I really love the 1st WS... Amazing all the finger shots you have..

Hallo Els
Dit mag je niet missen. Vooral de detailfoto maakt hem speciaal.
Een opmerking de focus ligt mijn inziens iets te veel naar voren.
Gr Jos

I hope your grandson recovers speedily, Els. Even when your mind wasn't really on it, you did a nice job combining the pictures. It looks really neat, I hadn't noticed it at all.
Nice entry for Helen's theme.

Hi Els...

That's a gorgous little feet you captured there, lovely little chubby toes Myriam has, :D excellent pp work I like the lighting and details here, good one, hope Lucas get well soon.


Have a nice day,

Cheers,
Sweety

Hi Els,

This is very cute image . .
Well composed . .
Excellent idea capturing this toe .
Hope Lucas is recovering soon . .

Tfs,

Poor Lucas - swollen foot/toes. Intersting PP work to get this image/contribution. Little kids skin is so interesting and you captured the texture perfectly.

Dan

Hi Els,
I like the clarity of details and the natural skin tones ... very good image and color quality. Good image cropping to focus on the main subject ... the black background neutralized your background thus making your subject stood out. Well captured and composed. Well done! tfs and hope your grandson is okay now.
Cheers,
Renier
