My daughter in her room. It was a glorious disaster that showed her in her environment perfectly. Until today, that is, when it was cleaned up. So I shot her against her bookshelf and bed instead.
The lighting was awful: a yellowish overhead lamp plus a bit of fill flash. I couldn't adjust it well enough to look good, and B&W conversions looked equally off.
So I decided to really push it with an "acid" treatment.

I hate when people tell me my shots are underrated, but well, this is sorely underrated. Really quite an appropriate setting and portrait. And I'm a sucker for acid treatments.
Very nicely done portrait, and the girl has a great expression to show the anguish of that age. The only thing that defeats the challenge is the out of focus background. The environment is an important feature for this challenge, as long as it illustrates the personality of the subject.
