Many thanks to my neighbor, friend and lovely model Christina. I tried a new technique on this photo, of zooming my prime while mounted on a tripod for dreamy effect. Probably will tank, but is fun to try and learn, anyway!

what a crazy cool image - i love the theme here - very imaginative and thought provoking. the image itself is very strong with great lighting on Christina's eyes and face - with the flower to 'illuminate' the whole scene. the veiled view with the blinds really enhances this image a great deal, adding the necessary tension and melancholy
Catherine, this is a great shot! One of my favorites in the challenge. I'm surprised it didn't score higher. The only things I see that "I" would change are: Christina's blue necklace is a little distracting and I would have cropped out the window jam on the left. Just trying to be helpful. :-) ~Cecilia
Oh, she's so pretty, and the giant sunflower reflecting on her face is great. This is very poignant with that title. Without the title it is a dream calling at the back door. Wonderful composition.
A nice idea with strong colours, although the way the door/slats are structured ends up taking away more from the shot than it ultimately gives. Your composition is a touch too centred and the gap in the doorway on the left is slightly distracting.
Neat photo--great color, interest, eyes, sharpness of foreground with blurred background. The only suggestion might be to crop out the shutter frame on the left; it doesn't add anything to the shot and may distract from the subject.
