Oh, and as I haven't done it for a while, here's the original:

She's got big feet. (how's that for a first comment!?)

what an unusual perspective. perfect, love it.

Have fun finding shoes for her, haha!

comment by Ben at 08:58 PM (GMT) on 1 September, 2006

Cute shot :) I really like the perspective.
It reminds me of your shot from the 12th of august.

comment by moodaholic at 09:02 PM (GMT) on 1 September, 2006

Now thats good! Maybe a removal of the white things behind her?

comment by chiara at 09:28 PM (GMT) on 1 September, 2006

Love the angle and the composition. She is really pretty :).

Between yesterday shot and today's, this one is much more amusing. Love the originality of this shot.

comment by iphi at 11:03 PM (GMT) on 1 September, 2006

Automatically reminds me of fairy tales. Having big feet is so obviously 'kids'. Very nice. =)

great stuff as usual! Thanks for including the original.. I really enjoyed the comparison.

comment by Wilce at 01:11 AM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

Excellent shot i love it

comment by Martin Gottlieb at 01:18 AM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

I like the original better... the color of the sand, her shoes... which are not that big at all and I assume are a product of wide angles.
As always, nice job.

The red went light in the black and white-- channel mixer used for the conversion tonight?

comment by Darkness at 05:08 AM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

I like this one. Great tones.

comment by Trish at 06:39 AM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

And a Happy Birthday to Camilla!
I think this shot is really cute- very different and fun. I prefer the processed version to the color/original. In the original, the red shoes were too "much" for me, and detracted from her face. I like how the perspective comes out on this one.

comment by Simon C at 07:23 AM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

Great perspective, and you've done a fine job with the conversion and toning.

comment by JM at 10:01 AM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

Really cool and creative , is it "feets eyes" ;-)

comment by marco's light opinion at 10:49 AM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

I find very interesing the weird proportion given by the short focal (ans this image recall "alice in the wonderland", in my opionion). Perhaps there's just too much DoF, my eyes can't resist to try to focus her behind her feet, I wonder if a wider aperture would have been better.

comment by marco's light opinion at 10:53 AM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

I mean: a wider aperture to blur her more and convince my eyes they can't focus her face at all... ;)

comment by Karl Baumann at 11:19 AM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

like it :-) especially the sand on her shoes

comment by dave at 11:30 AM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

lovely DOF

comment by Mal at 01:42 PM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

I think more than anything that is most impressive is your imagination when composing a photograph, we are all fully aware of your ability to manipulate an image but I sometimes feel that we forget that you are a damn good photographer. Lovely image. Mal

comment by vengas at 06:04 PM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

Perfectly converted to black&white.

comment by djn1 at 08:06 PM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

Thanks everyone.

comment by brian at 09:05 PM (GMT) on 2 September, 2006

nice one the dof is great

comment by m at 04:30 PM (GMT) on 3 September, 2006

I see why you published this one over the original, it's definately a better picture. But I think I prefer the colour one :-)

comment by Mary at 02:21 PM (GMT) on 5 September, 2006

I think I agree with "m"; I like the color pic. Nice depth of field and cool perspective. As always, nice job, David.
