Childhood Spent Locked in Closet, Rays of Hope

Thank you for your comments (at least the ones that are constructive :P)

As far as how long it took for this shot -- about 30-40 minutes. I had to adjust hte lightbulbs in my bathroom and the amount of light going through the door. Then I took the photo and saturate it a little more in photoshop to give the nice yellowish color (so no, it's not spot edited if you're wondering, it's a matter of using hte level tool to give it the greatest contrast and dim it a bit, then saturate the colors to make it more effective. The carpet would take the color and turns it into something unnatural looking which is what i was hoping for, as it's a creme carpet) Remember: it's very difficult to capture the original color in shadows -- our eyes adjust in real life but for some reason it doesn't work for photographs (i can tell the color is yellow when i took the photo, but it will come out as a greenish tint due to the carpet shading, it just wasn't THIS GREEN without saturating the color a little more)

And no, i was never locked in the closet, i had my share of corporal punishment, actually, more than my share. I do know people who were traumatized as a child and this is for them. I didn't want to do a happy childhood as a submission. So, it looked like a lot of people either HATED it or loved it as the score shows :-)

Thanks again.
Tony

Hey, grizzly bears are a better subject for "protective" mother :-)

Either way, the photo is a bit blurred (out of focused on the deer) also the bright background is a bit distracting.

Is this photo supposed to portray "abandoned?" I don't see it if it is, because it looks pretty warm....

New House on the block

great lighting... i like the sunlight but perhaps you shouldn't use the flash (make the house looks darker and i'd move the camera back a bit to capture the new house in the foreground and absorb that light, with a tripod! 7
