If only this would have bin advanced challenge I could do this so much better like taking most of the reflection on the pajamas away and burn some dreamy contrass in it and more :( But this will have to do since i promised someone to take part in this challenge:)
Crossing my fingers that i will get 6 or more :)
Thanks to MO and his great effort in the pajamas;)

When i first looked at this one my first reaction was "WOW!". The picture has such a dreamy feel. I love the lighting. The boy feels a little out of focus though... maybe that's just me. But the background is incredible. Definitely one of my favorite shots in the challenge. 10 for sure!
Very nicely done. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the person almost looks out of focus, even though that is impossible because all of the grass and sand around them is perfectly IN focus. I like your use of flash to balance the scene, but I think this would have been even better without it. :-/ A gold reflector might have been better as it would have mirrored that lovely golden sunlight. Such decisions we have to make. Good luck! :)
