You made it :) I like the darker shadows, they add to the atmospehere. The shapes in the reflections are really cool as well. Snyggt och kul att den kom med!

Mats Lilja Yes I did!
Thanks for the kind words Marcus:)
Ja visst va det, jag gillar ju den här ännu mer.
Tack Big Mac!

did you go to the same spot again just for the photo ? ;-)
very fine picture of a child's discovery

Mats Lilja Yes I did Dragan, it's a playground very close to home. We go there with our daughter all the time.
She slides down and then tries to climb back up again, she tries this maneuver all the time without any success, don?t ask me why, kids!
I figured I might as well shot it again.

Thanks for asking, I appreciate it.

Like this version a lot better. Not sure where the critique chat ended - but if the shot was underexposed deliberately at the beginning would the same effect occur?

Mats Lilja I guess it would be more like this for sure. But then I really tweaked the curves on this one in order to get a high contrast image, and made a lot of other adjustments as well, hence the category.

Thanks for asking:)

Cheers!
