Scots Enjoying The Son

[Rob MacKillop]

Not a spelling mistake...

The crop here is an experiment. I noticed that by being too close on the left hand side, and giving extra room on the right, it increased the feeling of the slope, further strengthened by the angle of the boy. As for the mother...she took a bit of 'enlightening' with Nik Viveza.

I was quite a bit away from them, using the zoom of the X-S1...handy thing.

Interesting idea Rob. I do miss the other hand though. What would happen if you kept more on the left and cropped below the intersection of the hand and the LH edge? Would that also emphasise the slope?

What makes you think they are Scots, Rob? They look like an English family on holiday to me.

Noooo, they'd be red and peeling if they were English Brian!

Very interesting photo Rob - challenges a few pre-conceptions, which is a good thing.
