This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

i agree, great concept.

on a side note it would have been awesome to get a shot of them running down a treelined stree throwing up the leaves (preferably nice red ones)

In terms of teh PP treatment, I reckon your version has some great potential, I would look to push the contrast just a bit and couple this with d-lighting and a crop just to remove any doubt as to what the main subject is and it would be sweet,.

heres a quick crack I had - let me know if you want it removed etc...

The girls and I thought of something similar however most of the leaves were a bit too wet for that.

Thanks Gerry I've taken a look at that and made some more edits in Lightroom based on this :)

I really like the last with the new walls and the girls. Nicly positioned :up:
Sorry I did not catch you down at Tomah. It was to late for me by the time I finished at the garden I needed to go to.
Looks like the girls had a good day though. :up:

fair enough on the wet leaves - although there aome nice autumn oak tree leaves in sydney at the moment which work really well for this - if only i had a camera the same time :)

Glad the PP made you take another look, its a really nice shot :up:

All good shots for the family album, the type of images we as photographers often neglect to take.

I'll second Geoff's comments here. I remember taking similar photos years ago when my kids were much younger, down around Kankoban (sp) in the Snowy mountains. Thankfully then it was very dry and they could roll around in the leaves without getting saturated!
