| like the idea and the execution, i just would have preferred a different cropping where your subject wasn't right in the center, and maybe being a little closer to her. 7 |

| Very cute, but I wonder if a much closer zoom would have been better, so that her expression, the statue and the book filled most of the frame. |

Good Luck! |

| Her wonderful expression makes me almost believe that dragon came to life in front of her eyes. Nice idea and different take on the challenge! |

| Great idea, maybe a little closer and cropped more, could also use some more contrast to make it stand out, but still an excellant pic! |

| Original. My only complaint is i'd like the shot to be a little nearer, to give more detail of her expression and the dragon coming out of the book. Apart from that, an excellent idea 7 |

| Very neat concept. Only thing that detracts is that the model's eye look almost closed - gives off the look of a yawn rather than astonishment. |

Going through and commenting on all my 5 votes, as I find this type of photo usually receives the least amount.
A decent concept, but with a few flaws. I don't think the background was needed here. A portrait view showing only the tree as background and the book and upper torso of the child and her expression would have been a nicely strong composition. Never be afraid to get in close. The elements of the grass and bright sun and trees beyond the trunk the girl is leaning against just distract, and your subject, the book and the "animated" dragon coming out of it, are too quickly dismissed. The girl's face and expression, as well, don't contrast enough with the trunk, and are a little lost into it.
Getting in closer allows you to work better with the light metering and other little details that will give you more control over these aspects. I suspect, if the dragon looked too fake closer up and that's the reason you stayed farther out, that there would have been ways to clean that up as well.. (a little selective edge blur can work wonders).
Anyway, just some tips on my opinion of this photo. Good luck. |

| its hard to see the pop up dragon - i thought it was a design on her T short at first - I like how you set the scene in an enchanted forest. |
