Mandyturner. Sorry to see where this ended up, it definitely deserved a much much higher ranking. Don't get discouraged, some of us appreciated the great job you did. Bravo!!
6 - Good shot to depict the feel/era for the Challenge (in my opinion this shot in a time capsule would do that for future generations). Criticism; whilst you have obviously applied a few effects (sepia?, grain?), if you had taken them a little further and included perhaps softening too, it may have made this a better photograph in my opinion. I think her pose / expression is 'classic' and the dress and doll and basket? (which I would like to see more of) adds the required character to capture this era. She is getting a little 'lost' in front of the tree though, with her dark hair in my opinion. Good effort to capture 'childhood in this era', in my opinion.
You aged this photo well. The grain and sepia tone are fitting. Every time I see pictures of people back in the early days, I have always wondered why they never smile and always seem to look glum. Good protrayal.
The one thing that keeps this from looking authentic is the girl's dress - the pattern seems much fancier than dresses would have been at the time. Otherwise, nice shot. I like the sepia.
This is great!! Even remembered to have her scowl at the camera like people did back then. Sticking my nose on my monitor I notice an almost grainy texture to the image also.
Hopefully this will make it to the top three. Good luck and nice job! 9
I had a doll dressed like this in 1960 ;) and oh my goodness I carried a basket in one photo with the favorite doll as well...lovely and serene image, grain fits perfectly..
I like this very much...her stare is perfect and the doll is a nice touch. And just a little photo history tidbit...the grain wasn't necessary to portray the era...as a collector of 19th century photography, you might be surprised to learn that many of the images from then were virtually grainless...still a fine entry.
