Tired Son

June 23, 2008 Comments (18)

A tired child (boy) is sitting to the right of the entrance door to a big house. From the viewers point of view, the child is sitting to the right of the door.

This is a shot of my tired son. After a long walk and almost back at our car, my son got tired. He needed to have a few minutes rest. We had been out walking a taking photographs and the warm weather and the long walk, overtook him. He does run around a lot more than i do, so i guess that's why he gets tired a lot faster than me. We found a place to sit and relaxed a couple of minutes. Drank some water and waited until the tiredness had gone. Here's one where he is not so tired: Riding On The Subway In Barcelona

Hi Klaus,

Trademark ... :) Maybe i should register it
This one i tried fooling around with the "find edges" in photoshop and then converted it to a "dogde n burn" layer, bought out the texture in house pretty neat.

The nice grey tones are appropriate to the tiredness mood. Also like the reflection on the door's windows.

Not bad..The hdr processing is great as usual but somehow the angle is making it a little too heavy to the right.!

Excellent texture. Looks pretty neat.

The is a slightly watercolour lightness to this one, and your son there and his expression make it really interesting.

Interesting stone work on the building, and an interesting story to go with it. Sometimes kids wear out faster than adults.

nice location for a dostance portrait

your post processing works so well (as usual) because your son looks like he completely belongs with the building.

A great looking place to take a break and caught your breath.
Kids are like that - in such a high energy mode that they reduce their endurance. They catch up quickly of course! :-)

Very good composition and post processing.

I like these cold colors here a lot. The composition is nice, too. Good one!

Wow this is superb.

I like the colors here also, the person sitting down sets a certain mood here but i cant exactly pull out what it is.
