"sky people"

Posted by morgan (canyon Country, United States) on 16 February 2013 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

I did not pose this. I was sitting on a bench eating pig butt and potatoes with flies all over it when this mother and her daughter stood in front of me like this. I took this quick snap and spilled my drink. They were waiting for the dad to bring them their food. It was a pow wow that had ended and most everyone had gone home.

Superb inhabited image & soul - maybe the sky is a little too much processed ? but anyway, great feelings here.

In a flash of spilled drink and your photographer's recognition of something special, you achieved a beautiful image.

My goodness this is fantastic absolutely and for a shot that was not set up impressive! excellent timing, brilliant processing and mood. That sky makes for a dramatic backdrop and the way she looks up...it's all very well done. congrats on the spotlight!
