As I am going through some of the photos from last year I am finding images I like and never processed. This one was not the sharpest of the batch, but I liked the overall “feel”, the DoF and the smile on my daughter’s face 🙂

Pony Ride
The importance of sharpness is overrated – feel is much more important, especially when it comes to family! I love this shot, she seems to be having such a good time.
I suppose not all “photogs” will agree, but yes, the feel is mor important, thanks 🙂
I agree 100% with Journey, sharpness is a component but not the most important in deciding whether an image is good or not. Miriam looks so joyful that she makes the photo work no matter its other attributes. How on earth could you only have now decided this is worth processing?
Thanks Nik, I don’t know. Mea Culpa.
It’s beautiful!!!
Thanks Kim 🙂
I also agree with the above posters. I’ve been working on a few photos of my granddaughters that are not particularly sharp, but show ‘the moment’ so well that I’ve decided they’re worth working on. My problem is getting past the subjective and trying to see them critically, since I think my girls are always just beautiful! 🙂
You, on the other hand have done this well here. It’s a wonderful photograph: full of joy, action and beauty. Tonally also it’s very dynamic and the subject jumps from the background.
Thanks Cindy, I think maybe I don’t take enough photos of my daughter 🙂
Lovely photo,nice sharpness of your Daughter and the horse with a lovely soft blur behind. Great!
Thanks Nigel, I was using the tele, so I got a nice DoF 🙂
Great capture Michael! Not only a great expression on your daughters face but the whole image comes together. Rule of thirds nicely shown.
Cheers!
Thanks David, it came out better than I expected, and is appreciated even better it seems 🙂
I have conquered the world. What Joy. Lucky you!
THanks A. Rose. She was enjoying the Pony Rides to the point of excluding others at one time 🙂
Your capture of your daughter is priceless, I would say. The feeling, motion, expression, are all wonderful!
Thanks Martina 🙂 I think I’ll print a large one of it 🙂
Cute shot of your daughter enjoying her pony ride. Wonderfully composed shot and I like the monotone processing.
Thanks Sasi, Composition was secondary, I was just trying to get the shot most of the time there 🙂
Wonderful shot. Such emotion and tells the story perfectly.
Thanks Cheryl! capturing “the moment” is always the hard part, but so rewarding 🙂
