Early spring in Zagreb, Croatia. I think they have a lovely background for their selfie. Thanks for looking and leaving a comment.

Hey this is neat, Doug...the one on the right really seems to be taking in the fresh spring air with obvious enjoyment and that forsythia really stands out...great shot.

Love this spontaneous moment captured Doug. Also love that naturally shaped forsythia - In my area all the lawn services take delight in chopping all the shrubbery into nice rounded shapes which ruins the blooming shrubs.

A timely and nice shot of the pair Doug. Those forsythia bushes add much to the beauty of this scene.

I am glad you are not selfish and shared this shot Gibbs.
You should have texted them and shared photos. Beautiful colors.

Doug, the pair has a good taste for choosing the 'golden' forsythia in full bloom as background for a Selfie. You had a very good eye for noticing this scene, resulting in this very fine capture.

Now that would make a super selfie. Gorgeous shot and such beautiful colours and the Forsythia would make a wonderful backdrop for a picture

Really nice shot, Doug.

Strong on the note of composition, as is/are.. the colours and exposure, et al.

Handled the technical side of things well, simply put.

Would make for a great print advertisement.


Got a little tip here, for you.. something to try at the bare minimum for a look see and comparison.

In Photoshop..

"Image>Adjustments>Match Color. A dialogue will appear. Around the centre of the dialogue you will see 'Neutralize'. Check this and hey presto! You're done."

Or..

YouTube vid: Quick Photoshop Secrets 1: Instant Colour Correction

(/\ Bit of an extreme example.. to illustrate the point/quick editing technique/method.)

+favs for me.

Thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)

The yellow sure stands out so well. I love how the one gal is enjoying the springtime air. A very good candid shot, it's too bad about all of the darn graffiti. tigs=^..^=

There's a lot of good contrasting elements taking place here. The graffiti on the building, the tree to the right with it's vibrant colours, and the moment the two are sharing. Good work.

Very nice capture of an intimate moment. They seemed oblivious to the fact you were taking their picture. Beautiful Spring capture Doug.
