Newly inspired photo

 
This photo was inspired by a beautiful picture taken by another blogger located here.  (Thanks Aura for the tip).  To keep up with my 2010 photography goals, one being keeping a folder of inspirational photos, I wanted to try my hand at recreating a similar photo.  The above picture was taken of my daughter's feet.  I'll admitt, I am pleased with the outcome.  I definitely think I need and WANT more practice with post production tasks.

Unfortunately, I do not have the specifics behind the picture regarding the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc. I am sure I will be doing more of these again in the future, so I'll be sure to take note then.

What I have been doing is getting into the details behind the basic concepts of photography.  I haven't posted many photos lately but I have been taking several, and reading and reading more about the foundations of taking really good pictures.  Also, I am finding out way more than I every knew that existed about post production tricks and techniques, having clean lines, positioning of foreground/background, and other great tips on turning a good photo into a great photo.  Yeah, yeah, yeah....you do have to begin with a decent picture and then build upon that. So, I'll work on those key elements first as well as make my way up that learning curve with Photoshop.

In the meantime I welcome all comments and suggestions.
