This picture was shot at night rather than daylight to capture the fading affect. Was a toss up between black and white or color, and i went with color. No camera flash was used, insted used lighting from the right side behind camera. Hope you like it as much as i do.

It seems a little too clean to be for childhood to me. I do like the fading light/fading memories idea though, very clever. I think it might have been more effective to use a warmer light though, but that's just me
I like the composition here, and it's a nice idea, but the light needs sorting out. I would either have a) shot this in the late afternoon, no flash, soft natural light (also that would match the mood you're going for here) or b) turn off the flash, put the camera on a tripod and do a long exposure.
The lighting is too harsh for this. Given this is a "still life" you might have been able to use low level natural light and a tripod or bounce the flash off a screen to diffuse the light.
The use of a flash makes this less desirable as a photograph to me... but it does make it seem like it's night and the child left her shoes and went to bed.
I think I'd prefer it without such an obvious flash.
