[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken at the CNE yesterday, this is a simple transition image between my series on protecting our children and a new series of shots taken at this year's Canadian National Exhibition.

I took a shot of this little girl in this amazing hat with a view to using it just this way :)
I did not have permission to take a picture of this little one, but by keeping her completely anonymous and totally sexless, I am trying to show how one might capture a childhood image without betraying our responsibilities as photographers and members of our communities.

Tech: Captured in raw and adjusted levels, contrast & saturation in raw with PhotoShop CS2, converted to jpg, selected red in Hue and Saturation and converted it to green by moving the hue slider over to the right (because the pink shirt and the red stars clashed [see original in the workshop]) resized, sharpened, framed and signed

Thanks for looking and for all your critiques, workshops and suggestions. Have a healthy, happy, and safe week.

Hi Silke

The star spangled hatter! Wonderful colour contrasts between the blue green & yellow with superb sharpness & downward pov. Tfs!

Amazing electric colors Silke.
Super curve and well placed in the verticle frame.
A really fun shot.
Well done.

Hi Silke,
I love the hat. The colors are bold and vivid. I like the placement of the hat in the frame as well. Nice POV keeping the subject (child) hidden. Nice work.
Best Regards,
Kevin

Hi Silke,
A hat like a big colorful splash!
I like the electric blue and fluo green.
This close-up makes a charming and vivid composition. Excellent sharpness. Bravo and thanks for the tip in your note!

Where did you get that hat,
Where did you get that tile,
And isn't it a nobby one,
And what a proper style.
I should like to have one
Just the same as that;
Where'er I go they shout, Hulloa,
Where did you get that hat.


And what a beautiful hat this one is Silke. I like your composition, well cropped. And those colours - I want one like it!!

Hi Silke, amazing hat with fantastic colors, splendid composition, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Silke,

You changed the colour beautifully, however why change the colour; I prefer the rose/red/blue one - for me the colours don't clash ^-^, besides that is what children love - a riot of colour.

Lovely picture,

TFS
