Photographer of the Day: Gary Radler
Category: Children Photograph: “Toddler girl pouring water out of her boot” by Gary Radler As adults, we know boots are supposed to keep water out, not store it. The fact a toddler is pouring water out of a boot, makes the image cute. We can see the toddler had a great time playing and sitting in the grass -- as seen by the grass still attached to her bottom. Gary kept a shallow depth of field to keep the focus on the toddler and action. Originally shared with the Photofocus Flickr community right here.

This can be as simple as a gentleman not liking the wrinkles around his eyes, or as complex as … [Read more...] about With Portraits, It’s Not About You
