Premium Photo Competition 2012 Q3 : Entry Number 261

Judges Comment

A combination of water and light is almost an instant winner. The green hose and green leaves with sun coming through the forest. Water breaks the light and gives it the special touch. This young man looks like he's having a lot of fun!

Photographers Comment

When I photographed this, I had initially been wanting to get a simple portrait of my brother. While we were on our way to the spot I had in mind, I noticed the hose coiled on the ground with the setting sun streaming through the trees and couldn't resist trying to make a photograph out of it. This was shot with a Canon T1i, 50mm 1.8 II lens, and added contrast with the Curves in Photoshop CS4 - Sarah Mattozzi
