This will no doubt traumatize this cute child and lead her into a life of depravity and crime. And it will be all your fault! 8

Thanks for submiting this shot. There is so much beauty in the "industrial arts" that goes totally unnoticed. You have just served to raise our awareness level.

Nice coloring, good focus and composition. Meets the challenge. Interesting subject, the shavings really add to this shot. Good luck.

This is very cute. Very original and funny theme. Apparently she was moving her hands when you took the picture and the slight blur is a little distracting, but the colors are good. I do wish she didn't look quite so frightened. Doing the same thing but getting her to put a hand on her cheek and just look bored might be a little less disconcerting, considering you are using a child in the shot. You dont' want to get the idea that the child is distraught in any way.

this certainly meets the challenge and the colors are satisfying, as is the stucco around the window very nice overall but lacks intensity

Nice job -- I left town (and the internet) on vacation before voting on this challenge, so I didn't see until now how similar our compositions are!

I really like the dark but clear lighting, and the leftover raisins. But I wouldn't be tasting those green grapes for another 4-6 weeks.

Several people mentioned I should have borrowed your squirt bottle ....
