Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hello Patrick, I�m Alan.

So now I get to revisit after a not so favorable comment, now after a ½ hour of studying the image I will attempt to further explain. As art this has ether too much or not enough. From your models face I feel the edge of a story, but everything else is a mixed message.
Did she come to her husband acting the young girl, why then the adult nightgown? As a woman, why the pigtails and teddy bear? As a wife and mother overwhelmed, why the makeup? Yes some interpretation should be experienced by the viewer, but you as the artist have to build the foundation. A open doorway with a man turned away on the far side of the bed, a hotel like �Do not disturb� sign on the door, I think would have taken this to the next level.
Or you could go the other route less focus, color, make the title less leading, and open up endless possibilities.
Then again, I might be the one up in the night. My wife looked at it for a just moment, and said �it looks like abuse, I don�t like it� So you obliviously struck a chord with her.
I hope I�m making sense.

Hello Gennaro, I�m Alan.

To tell the truth this was not of my highest rated photos in this challenge. Lets take a look, what do we have, a very young lady, what, 5-10 years old, with really nice hair, who seems to be upset or on the verge of a tantrum? I tried to find substance and yet it floated away like a butterfly. I have looked at your portfolio and have seen several of your images that are definitely artistic, for some reason on this one you missed the mark as so it seems so did I..

Hello Gerry, I�m Alan.

With a 6th place and a 6+ score I think you found a connection with the majority of the voters, that I personally found to be a creative take on a somewhat boring challenge. Your child�s facial expression is perfect as well as the sky. Improvements? Except for the sky the colors look a tiny bit flat. I also feel your wife is but a minor distraction, explaining her in the title was unnecessary, a more creative title might have bumped the score a tiny amount. One other thing �I� would have done is apply a bit of Topaz Detail (disclaimer; Some topaz products are legal some questioned in basic, please check with SC with anything you do with this product) Free trial on the Topaz website (No, I do not have any association with Topaz).
All in all, had I voted I would had rated a 8..

Hello Andrew, I�m Alan.

I think your second comment sums this image correctly, when you where just short of accused of a screen capture. I see in photographers comments you had a problem with your railing, but I think it fit�s the inspired scene well. Improvements there are few. One being the possible use of yellow transparent plastic sheets with a cut out in the center to give it that yellowed border, and added noise in PP (legal in basic) to give it that film nor look. Overall I think this was well presented, Thank You for giving me a fun image to critique this morning..

This is fantastic, no really. I see a young girl, but it could be a older lady who has that child like beauty..
