Took this photo out in the woods. Bought an old looking dress, straw hat and some fake flowers. Borrowed my mothers red basket. My daughter was my model. Had her sit among some ferns and act like she was picking a flower.

Such a lovely image with so much going for it! I love it!! It looks like you used grain properly (to enhance the image) and is a great example of a vintage type photo. What a nice photo to hang on the wall! It's so relaxing to look at. Can see it doing very well in this challenge!
