Hi Cedric,

This is one of your best pictures so far; excellent work. I was immediately taken by it's simple beauty.

Cheers,

Cedric,

Now that the initial excitement is behind us, could you tell us if you have this in RAw too and whether or not you might be considering working on the shading of the balloons which seem rather flat. Not that it must be changed, it works well right now. However, there may be room for improvement before printing.

Amazing shot indeed. I like the fact that the girl doesn't seems playing but rather serious.
About the balloons, I like this flat look, making them quite unreal, this give a dreamlike sensation which work great with a child.

Hi,

Yes, i have it in Raw as i always shoot raw files for "serious" pictures ;)
As Nicolas noticed, i like this "flat" rendering because it seems quite unreal.

Regards,

Cedric.
