Things will probably be quite quiet on chromasia this week as I'm going away on the 20th, won't be back to the 6th, and have loads of things to organise before I go. In other words I'm not sure how often I'll be posting. I will try and get something up. On a more positive note: the good news is that I'm going somewhere interesting and will be spending almost all of the first week taking photographs, so I should have some good stuff to put up next week.
As for this one: I don't have much to say about it other than that I wondered what it was she was holding in her hands. I suspect it was just something she had picked up from the beach, but the way in which she's holding it caught my attention.
Unusually, this is a more drastic crop than I usually apply, but had I waited till I was a bit closer I would have missed the shot. If you're interested, the original is here:

Fleetwood in all it's glory, this is certainly my kind of shot, gotta love those tones....

Is it the same as whats in the suitcase in Pulp fiction?

Maybe it's the heel that's broken off her boot. Gotta love the right choice of footwear.

I would have thought this photograph would be improved if the figure was looking the other way - towards the building. Maybe?

I can't wait til you get back to let us know where you are going......Is there room in your suitcase for one more?.... I think shes holding someones ashes....or a tiny rodent! csj
Nice moment and captured well. The cloning on the right is not a perfect job otherwise. The colors are fantastic again just as usually.

Lovely shot. Hope you have an interesting and fruitful trip!

Brilliant. Love the building in the background too :-) A good mix of old and new.

Very nice picture indeed. The effects of the clouds is very well blended.

yes, the way she is holding that thing and looking at it makes the whole shot. i like how close you cropped her to the edge of the frame. it makes the thing in her hands and the buildings quite... somber? ominous? both? nice one!

I prefer the original one.

Superbly composed photo. Good work.

Hey, really interesting to see from viewing the original what you clone out and what you leave in the image. Maybe you could cover that process in one of your tutorials?

i like the details all over and the distance between you and the girl. well composed with the lighthouse and the modern building next to it.

Thanks all.
Ed: I think I prefer her facing away from things as it isolates her more.
csj: sadly, my suitcase is already bulging. Well, it will be when I can get around to packing.
E y e V i s i o n: you're right, there are a couple of cloning errors.
