I never Wanna Grow Up

[MatchlessArts]

this one was fun, for this it was all about a fast shutter, being careful with the baby and making it look good

I purchased some moss for the shoot and placed it on the tree then had my camera on a fast shutter to catch casey jumping in the air playing her flute to simulate flying.

I was below my son when he was in the air and I was tossing him up and down.

Final Image below with before and after followed by a behind the scenes and edit video.

...i wanted to tell one more thing... throwing little ones up that way can be dangerous... sudden jerks can hurt their tender body systems

All right! Coddling finished already?

In my opinion this image is terrible. It relies entirely on special effects, specifically on the floating/falling baby to work. While it does stir up emotions in my mind, notably parental indifference, the unobtainable rejection of responsibility and a sense of longing for childhood past - and those elements are interesting - the image itself is ruined by the odd glowing orbs, mysterious patches of magenta, the woman at right holding what appears to be a block of American cheese, overall static composition, and blown hilights in the upper left, red/blown splotch of dead tree in the upper center, and the overuse of obvious fake mist.

Frankly, if this image were posted at youarenotaphotographer.com, the response we'd have would be tremendously different and negative. We'd be asking wtf is up with the baby and the glowing orbs on weird half-dead looking magenta grass. But since it's here at the photographer's coddle and hug forum, we give lots of :hugs:.
