 I had this image in my head the minute the challenge was announced. I know, I'm bad for putting my niece and my dad through this but we all had a big laugh setting up this shot. I was able to get 5 shots before Isabel got fussy about her Christmas presents so i had to make the most out of our mini session.

There was hardly any post processing here. Just applied NI and cropped and saved for web.

Thanks to my dad for being a good sport.

This was shot on Christmas eve at my parents home. I'm not sure how this will do but I just hope everyone gets a good laugh.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I thought this might be yours because of the little girl in it. This is too funny and perfect for the Opps challenge. Congratulations on a nice finish.

** Greetings from the Critique Club **

Creativity is a wonderful thing, and this surely is creative. The composition is pretty good, although I think if there were less of Gramps behind it would be better as the focus would be stronger on the young girl. Your colors are nice and vibrant, and exposure levels seem perfect. The items in the background (behind the girl) are a little distrating. A shallower DOF might help here.

Very cute, Rikki! And here I was questioning my own taste in my choice of postcards to you :) This picture is sure to bring a smile to everyone's face in future Christmasses when you haul it out (year after year), and put it lovingly on the mantle. :P

cute but easily could be set up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/29/2005 04:06:08 PM
Been there! Done that! Tell Gramps to go easy on the turkey & canndied yams!
Concept SOLD! Clear...beautiful reds...could have been more simplified, though. Tree, toys, bricks needed to be strongly soft focus. Less butt more child. Re-frame. Stand further away, take at least 70mm or 80mm zoom because "doggie-nose effect" is in play on the butt. Unless that was intentional, then you hit the bulls-eye "so-to-speak." ;)
