* Well done choice with the toning! It makes this most charming capture a timeless image!![reply]micki @ 2006-07-25 10:52:05
* Great vignetting and light. The desaturation looks great.[reply]Erik - HedinMedia @ 2006-07-25 13:20:35
* that's a great little shot - i do like the vignetting to produce the aged feel. reminds me of when i was a kid, fressing up for a party in on of my dad's shirts, the tails and sleeves of which dragged along in the mud![reply]david @ 2006-07-25 15:06:50
* Superb composition. I like the processing very much, it makes it a very strong atmosphere and a nice ambience. The kids are cute, the captured situation is great. Seems they're waiting for the Queen to come along ;).[reply]Uwe @ 2006-07-25 22:20:20
* What a find!! To me the body language is so strong here, I don't need to see their little faces. A wonderfully evocative image of childhood. [reply]fotojo @ 2006-07-26 00:01:34
* I agree with every comment above. What a super image![reply]Jeff @ 2006-07-26 10:48:40
* Great processing. These very cute kids seem to be on a highway that lead to all kinds of adventures. Very nice.[reply]Dave @ 2006-07-26 14:48:29
* A beautiful timeles image of inocence. I love the shoes and the way she's clutching the flags.[reply]geof @ 2006-07-26 16:56:15
* A gorgious photo ! and a perfect match with the text. I'll make you a link ![reply]Hildegarde @ 2006-07-26 22:26:20
* What a precious photo. I think it's at the top of my favorites of your pics. I recognized the quote because I heard it a zillion times in a movie I used to watch with our youngest son. It's from Pooh's Grand Adventure, The Search For Christopher Robin...if I recall the name precisely and I can still hear the echoes of that little English boy telling that to Pooh.[reply]Sherri @ 2006-07-26 22:28:18
* Love this image. Very unique in your archive of photos. Reminds me of an old picture you would dig out of the attic, fantastic.[reply]c2photo @ 2006-07-27 03:25:35
* I love this shot![reply]Michael @ 2006-07-27 13:42:23
* Thanks to Everyone who made supportive Comments on this one.
As I’ve admitted, this is on old image but I was able to re-process it thru CS2 to some advantage. Micki is almost right : the kids were attending street party celebrations of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, 2002. How time flies.
