 I had a hard time finding a good background for this photo.... I had originally wanted a completely washed-out, white background, but nowhere in my house worked. (How do people take those kinds of pictures, anyway??) But I'm actually pleased with the stone wall that I used instead. I think the texture of it adds to the picture.

The actual choice of pajama pants wasn't hard at all, though. :) I've had these "Jack Daniels Whiskey" pajama pants for a few years now, and I absolutely love them. I think they're so unique (and they used to be so fuzzy!).

This is my very first time ever actually trying to take a picture for something specific. (And so it's obviously my first DPC Challenge, as well!) I have no idea how I did, so I'm really excited to get any type of feedback (negative, positive--anything!).

I just used Windows Photo Gallery to play with the color saturation and contrast a bit, and that's all the editing I did to it.

Nice idea, I think a different perspective would had help a little. Would had like to see the wall as the full background, and a little twist to the compostion? (top left corner)

I like the concept of the pose and the colors. Is it just my eyes, or does it seem a bit soft on the edges?

Good concept, would have worked better with less "busy" pajamas.

I like the contrast between the pants and the wall. Overall, a very nice photo.
