 I made sure I went to church on Sunday. Hope it helps. Also where I took this, in the nursery after choir rehearsal and before the service. None of the children had arrived yet so I did not have to shoot around any of them. Did some more after the service and decided this worked best as many of the others had pictures, photo and/or painted, of children in them. I was afeared of the DNMC polizei! LOL! They were also a bit more busy than this.

Post: Convert from raw in PSElements 3.0 with a +0.33 exposure compensation and changing the white balance to flourescent from sunlight. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Cropped twice. USM. Resize. USM.

I think this shot has too much going on. It's sort of confusing because there isn't a dominant color, and I don't understand why the things that are in focus are in focus. Also, I really don't like the light.

It doesn't look like you put much thought into doing this. It looks thrown together.

Too busy, I don't see a focal point...

Ah yes, the big pile of stuffed animals. I recall doing that with my own animals. I notice that I can see faces on 4 dolls/animals but not on the others. That might have been a good place to be more intentional... either show one doll's face or many dolls' faces. My eye is attracted to the elephant, the slightly blurred lion and the pooh bear in the back. The color of the lighting seems very "indoor".
