Good white on white. I would like to see the variations in the white better.

Thanks to both of you and especially Chris for coming back and letting me know who had made the original comment - I was soooo curious :). This was at the library - low artificial light and hand held, a situation my camera does not handle well in terms of noise. Clifford is definitely muddy and I so wished I had the time and skills to change him out for a crisper version given the rule set, but I didn't. Our granddaughter turned two the end of August, and she talks up a storm, not only to us but also to all her dolls and animals as you see here. There were sweeter moments during the brief "shoot" but not with the book positioned well in terms of the Droste effect.

I was the baghead.
Didn't want people knowing I was back until the first challenge I entered was over. There's a thread about my return, so I don't care anymore.

Forget the exact comment, but it was about my daughter also reading books. You were my only eight in the entire challenge.

Simple elegance. The grainy background distracts from the clean lines of your image. Nice placement of the the image within the frame.

I think I would go back and tweak the colour in the sky and the withered grass so it popped a little more, but this is very nice as well 9

Funny how shadows and make or break an image. I like the composition and color of this. But I find the encroaching shadow to distract from the main elements of the photo.

Really nice photo Nikki - and well titled being very reminiscent of the scales along the belly of a snake.
