The blur is a bit distracting but overall, good image. Interesting lighting for outdoors too. I like it.

mysight said 492 days ago:

I saw that blur,but it was just a part of the moment there.My daughter-in-law planting squash.
Thanks for the lighting comment,I tried to tweak it in photoshop,a first for me!

I'm not guessing this time. This is an old-fashioned photo (I know, because I was there). I value the story, but the humble little planting (the center of attention) distracts from the hands, IMHO. Why the extreme desaturation, vs. simply going to b/w?

I like the mood of this photo, as well as the nearly monochromatic nature (except for the green plant). The motion also makes this work.

mysight said 492 days ago:

King,I was usng my photoshop,it is supposed to make everything"better"!
Clicking B/and/W would have been too simple.
I was trying to make the plant not be so bright.
Egg,I really appreciate your comment.
This photo doesn't look like any of my others to me.

I really like the back to basics feel about this shot. It reminds me of my grandmother who had the green thumb in our family. 5's.

This looks like a little kid playing in the dirt.

Hummingbird said 492 days ago:

Carl, I would never have guessed this was yours.

King said 492 days ago:

Photoshop makes everything better, the check is in the mail and I'm the father of Ana Nicole Smith's baby.

King,what did you mean by I'm not guessing this time?

mysight said 488 days ago:

Thank you all,this is my highest rating ever!
3.514

King said 488 days ago:

Carl...around 3.65 and this would be featured. A few more raters giving you 4.0, on average, and this may make it.

By "I'm not guessing this time," I mean that I'm usually very poor at guessing who shot what. I've already embarrassed myself a number of times in the Hands theme.

mysight said 488 days ago:

Thanks King but I already have my 13 raters in.
Last night I dreamed I was featured somewhere.
Don't know where,don't know what.
This is cropped and 'shopped',figures I would get close with this.Man,I have a lot of questions!
