A New generation

In the flat Dutch landscape surrounded by dikes I met this mother with her children.
Just a straightforward shot with a Canon EOS 5D mk2 and a Zeiss ZE 35 mm lens handhold.
Postprocessing in Lightroom / CS 5 with cropping, some increased color saturation, a bit of sharpening together with some diffusion to give it a little dreamy efect.

This came out great Herb. I really love what the diffusion did to the image.

I really like the angle and DOF you took this image with.

Just right—colors, softness, composition.

How cute Herb! Your diffusion gave this image a soft and tender feel which I'm sure is what you were trying to achieve. I would kind of like more puffy clouds in the sky, like in the image you posted to M&N, to give the image an even dreamier feel.

This is awesome! It reminds me of Pixar or the likes of that type of animation. Really nicely done

I like the lambs looking at your camera. I think they have notice you but not their mama.
