who is saying dad ru up there??? is the boy shown in the pic as a statue is asking that or the photographer? if the boy in the pic,is asking that, then who is dead? cz the boy is shown with wings,and as an angel,then he must be dead too:think:if his dad is not in heaven,along with him,where is his dad then? only angels reside in heaven honestly somebody is asking for his dad there are only two place,heaven and hell......i believe in we have to make the choice right here,were we wanna be!!!!!!!!!!! this pic is a very interesting pic throwing out some reality checks to all the viewers and the choices every one must make before they die.......great pic:thumbsup:
quite an entertaining and interesting angle, but there is still some room for improvement with regards to composition; one thing that struck me right away was that the picture *is* a tad too tight. this has 2 effects in itself - firstly, of course, the picture feels tight and constricted; and secondly, because of this "tightness" your intentional or unintentional leading line with the cross is shooting the viewer's attention right out of the picture immediately. a little mjore space on top would definitely improve this a lot.
the colors here are a tad muted, therefore i would choose to convert it to bnw.
lastly, a bit more dof would be great.
good composition and use of shallow dof.
not sure about the contrast. the contrast in your photo give a "soft" feel which goes well with the cute angel. not sure how it will be if increase the contrast, will it be too "hard".:think:

Hmm.
A lot has been said. Personally, I feel that it lacks punch. Perhaps a contrast bump, something harsher might be more suited? Either that, or shooting a slightly brighter exposure, then adding a soft focus effect in post, to create a dreamy look.
It depends a lot on what mood you want to achieve, be it the stark reflection of death, or a dreamy missing of a dad. From my POV, I would go for the stark, dark mood, especially since the loss of a dad is really nothing dreamy.
If you've not heard of this photoshop action, Urban Acid, perhaps you might want to google for it and download it. It is free and allows you to create a darker, gloomier picture. In this particular case, taking advantage of the tarnishing of the statue's stone and the visibly rough texture of the stone behind the statue, the Urban Acid action would do quite a great job here.
well anyway, my comments. If your intentions were to leverage on leading lines, I would thought that using a smaller aperture would be more effective so that your cross would be rendered sharp.
Also the greenish stain most prob due to moss growth is rather distracting so converting to BnW would perhaps give a bigger punch to the whole pic!

mr moderator eikin personally i feel,a pic tells a story, and thread title of the pic directs the viewers attention to the story, the photographer has in mind so in this pic i was just trying to get the story part cleared in my mind......a photograph is successful whn it conveys the story correctly to the viewer,enhanced with the basic rules of photography.......my comments added with a little sense of humour,to bring a atleast a smile... will surely help the photographer take a good pic,though i dont stress to much on the technical aspect of the pic,cz there are many ppl here who are doing that beautifully....but i will surely remind myself again to be effective,make responsible comments to help the photographer, as best as i can.
