I like the color, framing and, for me, the umbrella makes this picture better.

[porktaco]

for me

kiev ilegalac



simple setting, interesting angle, engaging central subject, interesting background action


brainwood



soft and pretty. highly engaging for me.


petronius



hey honey, let's take the twins out with those goofy sunhats your grandma bought, perch them up on that wall and stare at them.


pete chipman



nice rendering of an, ahem, classic subject. great focus on the finger, and lovely show lighting.


filmfan



i liked both of the girl-on-beach shots, and this one the best. sorta kinda out of focus, weird angle, incomplete figure. and it really works.


paul platon



the pictorialist in me sighs. so nice.


dedmonds



this is why i love film. you'd never get texture like this from digital. it's intimate and gorgeous and wonderful.


jbielikowski



i liked this whole series, a lot. i think i liked this one the best. it reminds me of some kind of 80s fashion ad. it's great. the flash is intrusive, the setting is intimate, the subject is vulnerable. do like.


j.scooter



my photo of the week. yes, i'm easily seduced by lovely blue, and yes i love seaside pictures, but this is out of some very weird scifi movie. wtf are those three people doing on that beach dressed like that? what's that kooky fencey thing on the left? what mutant growths are in the foreground? why is one of the people wearing a snorkel?

Thanks guys.

[dedmonds]

jcrutcher and porktaco, thank you both very much.

[petronius]

Thanks to all who mentioned my pictures!

porktaco, the little girls were placed there to be photographed. One frame later their mother appeared to shoot them (but my picture wasn´t good).

[porktaco]

well, then. you caught the perfect moment. that photo of the girls has a kind of twin peaks/david lynch thing to it. so odd. and cool.

i think the mom would have detracted from the photo's fundamental weirdness.
