Florence and the flowers

[George Farmer]

For me this captures the innocence and purity of childhood and the joy of springtime.

I took it in my living room, where Florence was silhouetted against the full sun beaming in through the large front window. I dodged out the window and other clutter, and boosted the exposure to get more detail in Florence. It's also a fairly tight crop hence the noise and lack of sharpness.

Nice! It's a great effect George Any tips on burning out the background? Not something I've figured out yet :?

 

[George Farmer]

Thanks mate.

The background was already way over-exposed so I selected the dodge tool at 100% highlights and just painted out the clutter. Real simple!
