Hesitation


I got this shot on Pensacola Beach. It was a cluttered, ugly, bad colored mess. I was trying to get a shot of the beach when this little girl ran up to water's edge and stopped. Her dad was video taping her and wondered right into the middle of my shot. I was going to delete it but thought it'd be something to test my edit skills with. I used Picassa2 to edit it and came out with this. I cropped about 70% away, turned up the shadows, sharpened parts, blurred parts and used a B& W filter.

This was shot with my first digital camera. It was a Fuji Finepix. It is now an expensive paperweight. It was gravitationly rendered useless.
