The Orlando Symphony Orchestra provided some orchestra members for an event for kids at a local park. The idea was to let the kids try playing various musical instruments. http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/Other/Current-Favorite-Shot/2010-07-17-099/959015269_RtuZN-XL.jpg The image has been faked. There was some really ugly background in the original, so I did some masking and dropped in a cleaner background with a shot taken the same day. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

You really brought out her expression of nervous determination. The adult helping hand takes you capture out of the ordinary. I will not nitpick your background. -- Peter

This one is not Photoshopped. I don't like too many people in the background, but it was a large event and it was impossible to shoot without background. Love the expression on this future Ringo Starr or Keith Moon. http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/Other/Current-Favorite-Shot/2010-07-17-098/959015274_vLZHS-XL.jpg -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
