Default All Alone Am I

I was at my granddaughter's cheerleading year-end event yesterday..after each team was done, they were presented with a medal and a crown by these high school girls who were all dressed up in Disney character costumes .. this particular girl was sitting in the bleachers across from us - as though she is waiting for her prince .. -

awesome picture. Think it would be even better if she was a bit more in focus, face is quite blurry but great capture

I love this, Hayward! The yellow against the red is so eye-catching and the lines of the bleachers give this photo really cool depth and texture. Thanks for sharing.

Textbook composition, Hayward! A+ I like the red and silver aluminum. The non-linear handrails is a nice touch too! Thanks for sharing.

A fantastic shot, Hayward. I love the composition of this one as you have broken the thirds rule, and it works. To me this is most likely because of the contrast between the colour of the girl's dress, and the bleachers (yellow against red). The composition of this shot reminds me of the shot you posted of the "Lone Golfer". Both great shots. Thanks for sharing this photo, Hayward.

Hi there,
what an awesome image you have here! I love it, the lighting and composition are excellent and l just love the whole feel of the shot. She looks both beautiful and lonely at the same time.
Well done on an excellent image Hayward.
David.
