Nice set-up ... you might have tried a little fill light, even a lamp, to bring out some of the details of the girl ... or had her in front of the window more for a different look
Beautiful composition. I like the softness and the near surreal look. The highlights are a concern in that they are oversaturated to the point of creating a distraction from the otherwise soft serene scene.
I'd be interested if you could reshoot this with daylight but without the severe backlighting effect (dark, moody look, I guess) -- or maybe you have a version more like that...
too hazy, too much direct light from the window, and you lost your subject in shadows, either have the camera angled away from the window, or use a fill flash.
I like the colors and framing on this picture. At first, i thought it was washed out, but upon second look, I like the way it makes it look bright and cheerful outside, and dark and forlorn inside. A little more light on the face, just to see her expression would have made it interesting. karmat
I know that you were going for the soft focus with this shot however, I think its a little too soft. The shadows are a little noisy too. I like the light through the leaves.
i bet this was a hard one to take, the contrast between the bright sunshine outside and the boy inside is a lot, and camera's have a hard time handling that. i like the concept of the photo, but i think i would like to see it taken when it's not so bright outside or there's more light inside so i can make out the boy a little more. picture also seems a tad soft. -- gr8photos (4)
this is a really pretty shot. oh how I wish it were focused better. this picture conjures up so many memories from my own childhood. I love it. Cute kid too. That's always a plus.
I love the colors that the leaves 'tint' the rest of the picture. Nice effect. If I had to shoot it over I would try for just a smidge less glare. Maybe wait a little later in the day. :) 8
A lovely shot. It's always hard for me to "see" the difference between soft focus and out of focus/grainy. To me, the bright light through the window is too bright, so the little girl is heavily shadowed. The upper part of the window frame seems too clear for soft focus filters that I have seen. I still like this photo. Let's go 7 Swash
