Eric,

What a great shot! Of course the story really caps it off. I can imagine looking at the other girls getting their hair done and wishing...

I remembered the picture but hadn't read the story until today.

There is something "freaky" about the angles of the tree and the house... but I love it... It almost looks as if it jumps out of the screen to me!

I like the iea of two chairs under a shade tree. It makes me think of a lazy summer afternoon, sitting out sipping lemonade with my wife or something. The house in the background is very distracting, and the chairs seem to have lost most of their detail to the highlights of the photo. I think it could have been more effective stepping back a bit, moving the chairs away from the trunk, and then recomposing and shooting. It's hard to say for sure.

The highlights from the light are blown out, and the tree is in the way. It's not a bad shot, but it's competing with lots of other similar ones, it needs to be perfect to do well here.

Nice soft feel to this - Could have really done with something on the lower right stone to add some scale and interest. Even some wet leaves would have done.

I like this pose (the angle of her body to the camera), but the cropping of the last one I saw/commented on.
