Date Uploaded: Jan 20, 2008

 Taken Saturday January 19th in my vintage clothing store, Dakota's in Austin Texas. Lilyana was nice enough to let me photograph her in some of my vintage clothes that I am putting on Ebay. I really liked this face shot for the childhood without children entry. Everyday, women come in the shop and try on hundreds of hats, just like little girls playing dress-up.

I like this photograph as a portrait, as well as the orange and red hues that catch the viewers eye.

Yeah, I still do that too.

Ooops, there goes my little secret. :0 :P

Seriously, nice pic, white balance seems to be a bit too warm and there's some blown highlights, but not very disturbing. 7

This confuses me, I had to look at your title to even understand how this related to the challenge. The idea was good but I think you missed the mark by using the model. I do however love your choice of vibrant colors, that to me is the only thing child-like in this photograph.

I suppose this is a doll, but it really looks like a child.

Nice. Great quality, lighting, etc...but...aside from the title, it doesn't say "childhood" to me.

Not a bad portrait but it doesn't evoke thoughts of childhood for me. There isn't anything in the image that makes me think childhood except the title, and I would say the image should be able to stand without an explanation. I'm going to mark you lower based on relevance to the challenge.
