When I took a quick look through heida's portfolio, I thought, high contrast, "imperfect" portraits and slices of life. So for my slice of life, I used a totally set up picture of my step daughter reading a book. I've been meaning to try more window light and throwing caution to the wind and not being afraid of anti-DPC style like blown out highlights.
I'm satisfied with the image, and really have thought its time to start taking more photos.
Ironically enough, I'm a teacher and I didn't enter the other open challenge this week--Back To School
This is a different processing. I think I like the submission more, but the processing of the outtake may be more stylistically meeting the challenge. Who knows... maybe I've completely missed the ball.
