Default Mime and balloons

It was so difficult for me to decide which pic to send for the Weekly Assignment "DOF"... this is the runner up; thanks for any comments!

Joshua_MX,

Nice capture. I find the placement of your subject in the frame rather creative and interesting. The overall quality of the photo is good by my eye. The mime's bold, dark, very defined coloring is quite good upon the light, springy, blurred background. Really good choice on the DOF.

I don't quite know what to make of the seeming apathy projected on the mime's face. Perhaps, he has been miming all day and he is tired.

Please include your camera settings (EXIF) in future thread postings.

Geotography,

Thanks for your lines, I will include EXIF info in future posts; for this one you may want to check flickr clicking on the pic.

In re to the mime expression, he was trying to look sad for not having a balloon (or something) any way, I found that interesting for the shot.

I posted another pic (Mime meets nature) in the weekly assignment forum (use of DOF), I'd appreciate if you drop a comment on it.

Thanks again!
