About the Image(s)
Taken with my Nikon D500. ISO 640 f5.1 focal length 145 mm.
This was taken at a Pirate Fest event in Boynton Beach Florida. Many attendees wore costumes. A fun event and good for photography.

Capturing the kids expression at right moment is a feel good, that is a nice candid shot   Posted: 11/14/2024 18:31:01

Those eyes and facial expression really tell the story - great shot. How did you blur the background?   Posted: 11/15/2024 01:13:32

Thanks for the comment.
From a video - Blur motion. Select image, invert, and go to filter/blur/motion. Since I discover it, I use it often   Posted: 11/15/2024 01:17:09

Good capture of the little gal and her expression. However, I'm a bit curious just what the star shaped thing is on her face just below her left eye. It is very distracting, as if the spot under her right eye. She is not wearing glasses, so what are these things?   Posted: 11/17/2024 00:45:06

It was at a pirate fest and people came in costumes. Just face decoration.   Posted: 11/17/2024 00:51:52

Marilyn - I love the expression of the child and how you blurred the background to create more separation from the subject. It seems to complement the backlighting too which gives her almost a halo or an aura effect. Thanks for sharing the technique too - I'll have to try that sometime!   Posted: 11/17/2024 21:16:14
