Thanks I was meaning to point out the contrast between the young girl on the background and the old man. The girl seems to read along in the newspaper of the old man. Quite like the effect.

You'd be able to see her eyes if she was looking at the newspaper, she seems to be looking further down...

Thanks dude !

Just wondering. Do you guys feel I should have shown the man's entire legs, instead of ending around the knees ? Im kinda doubtful..

Yeah, I think moving him a bit out of center could make it a bit more interesting, kinda use the L shape of the bench as a boarder

why the sad face ?!

[aiasib]

nah drakkie I like it just the way it is, it feels as if one's sitting with him chatting,

i think if you included his legs (and thus the legs of the bench) then the feeling would be different; not as intimate.

I wasn't going to enter the comp, but just to follow on the wedding theme...

haha im sad because shes growing up. we had been getting closer since i went into high school now shes already moved out and growed up.
im really happy for her though, shes a year out of college and shes been dating her fiance since the end of 6th grade, and shes known him since he was a couple years old. needless to say, me and him are best friends (same music, movies, video game interests....him coming over to see her is just a cover :P) but hes already been my brother for years now, so its not that big of a change aside from them not hanging out around here anymore.

niko that is a gorgeous picture! thanks for all the kind words guys, she is beautiful (somebody pissed in our gene pool after her)
