This one was taken last summer, but for some reason I never bothered to process it – I'm not sure why now, as I quite like the end result. And for those of you who have tracked right back through the archives on chromasia you'll notice that this is very much like walking on shadows posted way back in 2003, though in this case this is me, Harmony on my shoulders, Rhowan immediately to my left, and Camilla (or maybe Amirah) on the far left.
Oh, and just a reminder that I'm away until Tuesday.

Glad to be the first today :)
Classic but, as often, a great shot. Love the texture and color cast.

so strange...

Maybe it's the green color cast, but I'm thinking Addams Family.

just love the texture, light and geometry of this pic! Well done!

I am thinking urban scarecrows.
comment bySalar at 07:57 PM (GMT) on 18 June, 2006
hahah very well done. The cross-process (or toning?) is very well done. Enough detail left in the shadows. Great work!
comment byAndrew at 08:00 PM (GMT) on 18 June, 2006
Great shot! Took me a little while before I figured out was was on your head. Woulda figured it out once I read you description. But I tend to like to figure an image out before reading about it.

Great game between shadows and light. Its without a doubt a different family portrait. :-)
comment bymikeb at 08:18 PM (GMT) on 18 June, 2006
This came out very nice. It appears as though that is asphalt, is that true?

Admit it, you have a camera built into your belly button, don't you? ;)
comment byKarl Baumann at 09:11 PM (GMT) on 18 June, 2006
Great! It looks like your head has 2 arms :-)
Nice processing. I like the tone.
comment byshooter at 09:19 PM (GMT) on 18 June, 2006
I like the overall feel to this shot it has potentially quite a number of interpretations I would guess depending on the mood /frame of mind of the viewer...
I did think of "walking on shadows" as soon as I saw it ;)
Its great, al little spooky! kinda looks like a hat on your head as apposed to a child on your shoulders :P
comment by Bryan g at 09:36 PM (GMT) on 18 June, 2006
I love this image
comment byrambohoho at 10:11 PM (GMT) on 18 June, 2006
nice shot, I like your people shots very much, other actually not that much :) Maybe it"s because you are an expert in Phsycology, so you know people better. :)
comment by m at 10:30 PM (GMT) on 18 June, 2006
I'd guess at it being Amirah!
comment byLibby at 11:50 PM (GMT) on 18 June, 2006
Hmmm.....now I'd say harmony on the shoulders, with Amirah and Camilla standing by. But what do I know...I'm only their mother ;-)
comment by Robert at 03:09 AM (GMT) on 19 June, 2006
We have all taken this shot at one point or another. This is one great.
Nice to know someone is minding the store Libby!

Haha no offence but the picture does look a little spooky to me. Perhaps it's the shadows suggesting things (cheap horror movies, for one), or it's the green cast.
I love this one. The post processing is, as always, beautifully done, but the really great thing about this shot is the figures themselves. Each of the figures is wonderful. The outstretched arms of the girl on the left contrasts with the other girl's arms, down by her side. Both girls are standing in rapt attention looking at the parent figure (you!), and I love the big round head and outstretched arms of the kid on your shoulders. Well, that was a poor attempt to put into words what I really like about this shot. But anyway, thanks for another fantastic shot :)

Very dramatic.....very sinister.....Very Tim Burton.
Left of the shot also reminds me of the iconic poster image from the Kubrick film, 'AI'.
(I presume that the shadow on the right is a child on someone's shoulders ? It looks like some medieval , diabolical cleric or jester)

Wonderfull photo, love the colour of it and the clarity of the shadows. great work!
º green: football
º main shadows: a father with her son
º mixing the father's day in my country (Chile) with the World Cup.
º great!
;)
Unique and very nice
Is this a Marillion album cover?
Very cool. Great texture and the shadows are a little bit eerie. The one on the right could be a demonic Krusty the Clown.
Funny shadow play.
This is really sweet. Maybe a bit too much postprocessed though for my taste, but I like it. :)
Love the textures and colouring you have gotten with this image.
I love it! Great shadows, very original...!
nice token and very good PS work
the way the two shadow figures look like crosses, is kinda creepy. nice work.
Beautiful shot! At first I thought it was some type of asian figure shadowed. Very nice!
Thanks All :-)
good job! i like it :)
really neat! looks like giant puppet shadows as opposed to shadow puppets.
