Nice set-up ... you might have tried a little fill light, even a lamp, to bring out some of the details of the girl ... or had her in front of the window more for a different look

Beautiful composition. I like the softness and the near surreal look. The highlights are a concern in that they are oversaturated to the point of creating a distraction from the otherwise soft serene scene.

Good work, the soft-focus is a good choice. The sky is somewhat blown out, though. 7-ClubJuggle

good composition and play of lights

I like the way the girl is so dark and the outside is so light. I also like that it is a little out of focus.

this is a great picture, the fuzzyness is what really makes this picture GREAT
07/20/2002 12:16:00 AM
Blurry. Bad lighting.
07/19/2002 04:40:00 AM
Interesting...
07/19/2002 03:25:00 AM
nicely done, in this case, i like the slight fuzziness
07/18/2002 02:29:00 AM
I'd be interested if you could reshoot this with daylight but without the severe backlighting effect (dark, moody look, I guess) -- or maybe you have a version more like that...

nice misty-like appearance!

too hazy, too much direct light from the window, and you lost your subject in shadows, either have the camera angled away from the window, or use a fill flash.

wonderful. tranquil. greenhouse effect..

I like the colors and framing on this picture. At first, i thought it was washed out, but upon second look, I like the way it makes it look bright and cheerful outside, and dark and forlorn inside. A little more light on the face, just to see her expression would have made it interesting. karmat

out of focus.
07/17/2002 08:49:00 AM
background blown out, foreground not enough detail
07/17/2002 04:14:00 AM
the soft feel and colors are wonderful, but the framing or angle of the window throws me off, it feels cramped.

I know that you were going for the soft focus with this shot however, I think its a little too soft. The shadows are a little noisy too. I like the light through the leaves.
07/16/2002 06:25:00 PM
I really like the concept on this one but the exposure is a touch too hot for me.. :) = 6 - jmsetzler

I love this blurry effect! very eerie.. sort of hopeful and melancholy.
07/16/2002 04:51:00 PM
Its too light outside and too dull inside, although it is difficult to shot through windows.
07/16/2002 04:34:00 PM
i bet this was a hard one to take, the contrast between the bright sunshine outside and the boy inside is a lot, and camera's have a hard time handling that. i like the concept of the photo, but i think i would like to see it taken when it's not so bright outside or there's more light inside so i can make out the boy a little more. picture also seems a tad soft. -- gr8photos (4)

Evocative photo of childhood
07/16/2002 10:08:00 AM
I think this could have been an effective shot if you silhouetted the girl and had the window properly exposed. Also, the focus is off.
07/16/2002 02:51:00 AM
this is a really pretty shot. oh how I wish it were focused better. this picture conjures up so many memories from my own childhood. I love it. Cute kid too. That's always a plus.
07/16/2002 01:40:00 AM
Nice composition... I think the brighness is a bit overpowering though... maybe a black and white version would work well
07/16/2002 12:29:00 AM
It's ok...but lacking something...not sure what.
07/15/2002 04:08:00 PM
I love the colors that the leaves 'tint' the rest of the picture. Nice effect. If I had to shoot it over I would try for just a smidge less glare. Maybe wait a little later in the day. :) 8

Nice light.....very nice. Focus could of been improved but this is nice. Kee
07/15/2002 02:39:00 PM
This would be so cool if you sprayed water on the window like a gentle rain. I like that:)
07/15/2002 01:32:00 PM
A lovely shot. It's always hard for me to "see" the difference between soft focus and out of focus/grainy. To me, the bright light through the window is too bright, so the little girl is heavily shadowed. The upper part of the window frame seems too clear for soft focus filters that I have seen. I still like this photo. Let's go 7 Swash

nice... and your going to kill me but, isn't a bit bright?
07/15/2002 11:33:00 AM
I like the concept of this pic alot, but I wish the girl was a little more in focus
