This was my most involved shoot ever. had to buy all the bedding and the tulle for around the top of the canopy and the picture and slippers on saturday then just this morning(sunday) I had to wake up early. kick my kid outta bed. take apart the bed. set it up on the lawn, put all the stuff on it. then put the slippers down next to it. hang fishing wire from one bed post to the house and put the print on it. I attached fishing wire from the tulle to the trees off to the left of the shot to make it look like its windy and add a little interest. tried to use a strobe powered by my car but it wasnt powerful enough so that didnt happen. and then got my daughter into the bed. she wasnt cooperating too well but I got some shots. then took it all apart. put the bed back upstairs where it belongs. then plopped down as tired as can possibly be to see if I had anything useable. I ended up with a few different choices none of which i'm completely pleased with but i still hope this does well as my neighbors probably think I'm crazy now and I'm sure I singehandedly just brought the property values in this neighborhood WAY down. lol

You know I am not sure why I haven't commented on this yet when at least 20 of the views are mine. :-)
It is AWESOME! I really love it. The set up is magnificent and who cares what the neighbors think. The thought and effort that went into this is crazy cool and it should have won a ribbon along with Judy's.
Wow. You just keep coming with these fantastically creative ideas! Very nice idea, and terrific shot! The picture hanging in space is just wonderful - adds to the magical feeling. :)
Oh my gosh, Crystal, I can't believe you went to all that work! You need to seek professional help... :-) Seriously, though, I thought this was AWESOME.
You moved the bed outside? How did you get the picture there? Because the image is so small, the child reminds me of the Exorcist! (no disrespect intended - if there's a halloween / scary challenge, consider this).
The backround could be better.. doesn't really represent nature, BUT, I understand how difficult it must have been to even move the bed there! Awesome originality... 7
I am so positive I allready commented on this one! Weird.
Ok, what was I saying. I LOVE this one. Added it to faves also. Gave it a 10. But, there's one thing (and not gonna vote you down for it): I'd like to see less grass at the bottom and right, and more bed!!
Gotta give you props for actually doing this. I had a similar idea, but that is all it was, an idea. Can't believe you actually did this. Nice execution too. The picture in the trees is a nice touch.
Great idea...love the contrast of white and dark colors. Just composition I think would be better more space on left side cuz its in the way of winds motion.
