[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this picture of my oldest just after I got my new camera. Playing around with the software it came with, I decided to go with Sepia.

I love the innocense of a child, who is exploring her little world around her like studying a dandylion she picked from the front yard.

It makes us stop and think about our big world around us as well as it showing us the simple things that we miss due to the daily hussle and bussle we go through as adults.

Jeanine,
Welcome to TL! Thanks for sharing (TFS) your photos.
Nice and crisp work. POV (point of view) could be improved if child wasn`t in the middle.
Keep posting.
Cheers,
Wellington

Hi Jeanine. Welcome to TL! This is a lovely portrait of your daughter. I love that a soft wind is blowing in her hair, peaceful and quiet. The way she is looking down at her hands... this shows the casual way children think. You could however work on the composition, putting her on either side of the frame makes the photo less static. TFS!

Hi Jeanine,
That is precious! Not a care in the world. I like the Sepia with this photo, it adds the priceless nostalgic feel to it.

I like that you did this picture in Sepia as well, good eye. This is so precious and very innocent. You have captured her emotion perfectly, nice job.

Jeanine,

Nice capture of your daughter. The sepia tone and gentle contrast of the image really set the daydreaming mood.

I must ever-so-slightly disagree with Wellington. I don't necessarily think that the placement of your daughter in the frame is what lets this photo down. I think it is the empty space around her. I know that you wanted to include the field to place her in the surroundings, but I think you may have included too much. Remember, the point of this photo is to illustrate her captivation by the flower, so we only need to see a little to know where she is. She's holding a dandelion in her hand and has flowers in her hair, with but a hint of the filed behind her, we can easily surmise that she's somewhere rural.

I would love to have seen you fill the frame with your daughter's concentration and study material.

I don't know if you ever saw the movie American Beauty that was out several years ago. The tag line oft seen in the movie and on the promotional material was, "Get closer." I have taken that as my photographic mantra as well. Whenever I think I am finished with a subject or photo excursion, I say that to myself and try again, looking for a more intimate composition. Oftentimes, I get my best shots afterwards.

Thanks for sharing your this photo and I look forward to seeing what you have to show us in the future!
