Blue

Blue

A group of people, painted in different colors, posed in the streets of themepark "EuropaPark" in Schwartzwald, Germany. This one was a full-body portrait but I cropped it.

Canon AV-1, 135mm

This picture is a reload. The previous version had a slightly different crop. Thanks to the suggestion by Rob Wells I was able to improve the balance in the composition.

Here are the comments made to the previous version:

Thanks Cees and Jutta, I'm glad you like the result. I've cropped it in different ways but was not sure about the best version.
Regards, Robert

I reckon you got the crop just about right. The only thing I may have considered would be to crop the image so that the 'blue' people took up exactly half of the image, with the other half to the left being the green foliage. But then I'm no expert !!
Nice shot.

Thanks Rob, it's a good suggestion. There are some distracting dark leaves at the right that I wanted to leave out but I will sure give it another try.
Greetings, Robert
