Default Fun at the park

This is my asistant, Sofia. I took this photo after we finished a shooting session.

I liked the original, but after procesing I loved the result.

What do u think about composition? Should I included the complete knee??

Is the bright spot on her side too bright?

It was more a spontaneus photo but how do you like her expresion?

1/100
f/7.1
30mm
ISO 400
No flash

just my two cents, ...little tight on the crop cutting off body parts...and The bright spot can be cloned out. the composition is good as it makes you look through out the photo trying to figure it out.
but the photo is definitely fun, and candid! i love photos like this for black mail =)

Yes, I also think that the crop is too tight.

I need to learn to wait a few seconds before taking the foto and watch the whole frame for those things.

Gracias a todos and have a great weekend

I think it's Ok with this crop. It make the leg and hand as part of grafical lines of the trees branches. So they have their added value of fun and kind of madness in the park.

I think it's delightfully comic! It looks quite busy ... but then I collect the "Where's Waldo" books and this is kinda' like the "find the person in this image". So I like it. I bet a buncha' unimaginative people would not see the (to me) obvious image.

However ... I can't tell you whether I would have preferred original composition or brightness unless you show me the original image.

Her expression ... ??? Priceless!!! :-D
