Sort of had the same idea, but I did not have time to try it out. I might have framed the image a little different though. But overall, I like this.

I was just marveling at this shot again. Did you really take this wit the 18-55 kit lens? I would not have thought you could get close enough for this with that lens. Very cool shot and creatively processed.

Ha! But... if you're going to set it up... at least put the pretty girl on the third of the "window". :D Great door!

On the deck, bubbles in one hand, a lollipop in the other, what could be better?

I have seen this view a few times in your images before and it's hard to believe what a beautiful view you have!!! Cute photo! It would have been amazing if you had the tools to back-light the bubbles ... then they would have really popped instead of sort of getting lost in the sky.

I like the composition, but I wish your lighting were a bit softer.

Comment by aliqui:
I love the exposure on the mountains and bubbles, but I have to be honest; the dodging on the girl is really distracting. It seems so random. This application suggests that the light hits hard and then instantly dies off. Maybe a softer brush would help feather the effect in the future? Another thing that bothers me is the dark lollipop. That should most certainly be included in the brightening process.

This image has such potential to be so great, but lighting her definitely seems as though it were an afterthought. Had a reflector or flash been used you'd have a damn solid image.
