Challenge 43--"Window to Imagination"

lizzard_nyc

Hi all,
Been really busy, but I'm glad I was able to shoot some tonight--I checked the other threads and gallery and I don't think I saw this take on the theme yet.

Theme worthy?

I will definately re-shoot if worth pursuing. Any tips on re-shoot.
I will lower the ISO, more focus on the windows/doors or on my girl?

Thanks for looking--C&C wanted.

Does the title work for you?

I'd like a combo of 1 & 3. I like her hand on the truck in #1. I like more of her face in #3.

I think if you can get the focus on the doorway so that's it's crisp, this image would be great!

Thank you both Chris and Brian,
I will reshoot this weekend and concentrate on getting the door as crisp as possible while still trying to maintain my daughter in focus.

Thanks for the feedback.

If you get the door in crisp focus, your daughter should be quite soft, as she is in #1. I think that would be a very nice contrast in the composition.

Waiting for daylight hours to reshoot this weekend. I hope I can nail it.

Thanks Chris.

I would also try a couple with your daughter sharp and the doorway soft, just to compare and contrast. Really like the idea.

Definitely worthy of a reshoot! I like the direction, but I don't think you have "the one shot" yet. What about putting a light to the side of your girl so she is side-lit by the light, but the house is not hit by the light (you can put a flag between the light and the house to block the light from hitting the house if necessary).

We have a big snowstorm coming in this weekend, looks like not much to do but to shoot and edit indoors--so I will try all angles:) if my daughter complies.

Thanks for commenting.

I will try to light from one side, good suggestion--the lighting was poor for the original version so I knew I had to reshoot--just glad this take on the theme works.

Thanks for commenting.

I like #3 best, but personally, I would crop the right side and keep only the toy house.

Thanks Tatiana,
Sorry I missed your post--I tried to reshoot, but I may have to work with this series if my reshoot didn't work. I still have one more day. I do see why a tighter crop on there would work better, just wish the door was in better focus.

# 3 works best i think
