Ahh. Like oranges. Wish I could see what was in her hand. Then it all might make sense. The picture itself os pretty good. Wish there was more light on her face.
I realize you probably receive a lot of comments already that this isn't exactly surreal. However, I would like to offer some construtive criticism of the photograph - it's a really nice portrait - your daughter has lovely expression and you caught her in a great moment. I think though, that in dark situations like this you should steady your camera on a tripod or on something sturdy if you cannot afford a tripod. Low lighting like this can result in a bit of camera shake, even on your end that will blur your image slightly. It looks like the focus isn't as sharp because o fthis. Your composition is quite good, but I would suggest trying to look at your negative space a little bit more. You could have made the main subjects pop right off the page in 3D with a little bit of shallow DoF - the negative space doesn't really do anything for the image. With a shallow DoF, you would only see the shape of the negative space and you wouldn't be distracted by tree branches. Good luck in this.
If you moved the sink outside just for the photo, you were on the right track, but your result just looks like a child playing outside in a backyard. Now if she was cutting up a lobster with a hammer and had her face painted like a wild indian, while wearing 20 foot stilts, and had the sink filled with milk and metal bolts, you might have surrealism. Know what I mean? Dreamlike.
