Yes, this was a set up. Some of my students volunteered and others in the photography club I sponser wanted a chance to get their picture taken. They all took pictures of each other and had a great time. I had the hardest time trying to decide which photo I took to enter. This one seemed to have the most expression.

What an intese look from your subject. The composition is perfect. Really like seeing the books behind. Give a hint of location. The add book with "Hellen Keller" adds an extra bit of interesting. Great combination of contrast and brightness."10"
of the 'tape on the mouth' shots, this one is interesting.. the choice of book adds some humor to the shot as well as the library location.. cute subject with a great expression on her face.. the concept was a little overdone in the challenge tho.. detail and focus are great..
Helen Keller was blind, not deaf! This much tape on such a young girls mouth, along with the frown in her expression around the eyes bothers me. The quality of the photo is very good, I just don't like the contents.
The child's look is what makes this so great - and of course, the added touches like the book being on Helen Keller, etc. Just a wonderful photograph. - 7
hmmmmm.... i am not sure what to make of this. perhaps i think it is a little too literal, perhaps i don't feel she is lreading so much, standing amonge the library stacks, ... is a little low contrast
