Yes, the background is really screwed up. Set up, got my 4 year old into the act. Everything just about like I wanted it. Finished the shoot after putting her to bed - bingo! Dust all over the CCD!
I didn't have the opportunity to reshoot, and bing a basic challenge, couldn't spot-edit to eliminate the dust marks. Such is life.

a lot of wilhelm tell shots in this challenge and this one my absolute favourite
if myself was thinking of this idea but than hitting the girl in this case (not really ofcourse) even some blood too
but this is a very nice Shot
again i feel a scandinavian vibe to this..wonder if thats true (iceland that scandanivia too i wonder)
Not a fan of the arrow through apple on head shots. There is a slight shadow on the right side of the model. It would have looked better if you would have done something to diffuse the light flash. 6
It started out as a smile....progressed to a chuckle, and finally erupted into a full blown LAUGH!!! I LOVE this picture. Perfect expression. Good, simple background. 10
