I think a little information about bubble like objects could make viewers like me to better understand the image. Posted: 01/14/2026 04:03:46
As I rushed through the initial description, I realized I left out a simple sentence on how daddy was using the magic wand to create large soap bubbles and the child was trying to catch one of the bubbles. Posted: 01/18/2026 16:23:31
You have done an excellent job of capturing the child and the bubble with the myriad of colors. Unfortunately the large white or bright area on the left draws one's eyes away from the main action. Maybe if you had tried a different "point of view". Posted: 01/17/2026 09:30:45
John and Leslie, i fully agreed with you on the high contrast of the left white corner, which draws one's eye away from the main subjects of the child and the bubble. For some reason, the program would not allow me to further downsize. So, i was forced to leave it as such. Posted: 01/18/2026 16:37:53
Now that's a bubble. The subject matter is enchanting and the story it tells wonderful. Unfortunately, the contrast is too high, the focus a little soft, and the colors off. It needs a few corrections and then it would be great. Posted: 01/17/2026 10:14:28
Beautiful expressions on the child and the father. I would crop half of the space on the left, from the edge of his wand, and a smaller piece from the right edge, to focus attention on the figures.
Cute photo. Well done. Posted: 01/18/2026 00:02:42
