I really like this "slice of life" capture. And I think that the tone on tone part of it really lends itself to the mystery part too.

I like the idea you started with, blurry foreground used to frame the subject. Nice one.

Love those colors and ideas. You've inspired me to actually try the vaseline concept.

Annig, I just love the history you're giving with the shots. This one is so good. Love the lines of hair dipping down in the beautiful blues. I can tell that you are really enjoying the side challenge and I'm glad you're getting a lot of kid shots.
I miss those times!

Great choice for this side challenge Jeffrey. Those colors are magnificent, and as usual your crop is right on.

Love those hands in both views, they tell almost as strong a story as the expressive face.

Hmmmmm...apple falling not far from the tree????? I love the emotion in this shot. As said below ... definitely one to save for future embarassment (and payback) to show to a first girlfriend in a few short years.
The only thing that bothers me is the yellow green tint to the background it clashes somewhat with the blue green tone to the shirt. Perhaps if you cooled the background color a bit it would work a bit more. JMO, of course.
Having said that, this is an awesome emotional shot.

Absolutely amazing colors. I love the feel of this one. In fact, it'd work beautifully in my living room. WOW.

Very ominous feel to it. And it works beautifully.
