November Image - Indian memories

How I Did it:

I go into 4th grade classes when they are studying Native Americans. In October of this year I did just that. This young man caught the  deer hoof on the stick three times!  In all the years I have been trying I have only done it once! There is no before image as I have to shoot fast in a crowd of children. I had to use a flash - forgot the first time!


COMMENTS:
 
Barb Athanasiou  Nice shot of his reaction. Using some software either darkening the small gold spot at the bottom left corner – and/or cropping it a ¼ inch at the bottom and right side would keep it from being quite so centered.
Ernie Zimmerman The photo is of a boy catching a deef hoof on a stick. The action of the boy does not appear dramatic in the photo. I had a problem visualizing the gray hoof from the dark gray sweater of the person in the background. The stick itself does not stand out. If the stick and hoof as well as the boy were adjusted for color, contrast, and saturation, the picture would have some more punch.. Also blurring the background would allow the foreground to stand out further.
Sally Grugan   Cute story;  I would like to hear more of it.  The youngster looks like he is saying  "why me?"  Casual flash is always a problem; do you have a card  on your flash that diverts the flash?  Do you have a special interest in Native Americans?  My youngest son married  a Native American girl.  She is one of few NA women who is a practicing  M.D.  They live in Alaska.
Mohanan Nair Nice sap shot. The hoof is not visible clearly. Boy's expression is interesting.
Kathleen L. Sims Nice job of capturing the moment. I like the surprise expression on the boy's face.
Bogdan Bricelj It's seen the surprise on his face. But without explanation I wouldn't know the reason.
