My daughter and her best friend live in dress up clothes. This afternoon I was able to capture them doing what they do every week - play princess tea party at the kid's table.

I almost didn't submit this photo because it seems so ordinary to me. But, my sister insisted that it captured them in their favorite environment and that it would be interesting to others. I hope she's right. I do feel that the joy of being 3 and a half is in this photo.

Darling little tea drinkers, plenty of sugar at this table. I might have tried a different angle, if you took the shot from above them (rather than eye level) you could have taken better advantage of the yellow wall, the idea is to get rid of the dark horizon line where the wall stops.

Bounce the flash from the ceiling because this black shaddow distracts me.

A cute shot, but that heavy shadow and tilted table make me rate it lower.

Very cute. It looks like your models were having as much fun as you. The light at the front is nice but it would have been good if you could have reduced the shadows on the wall too.

Cute subjects. Shadows are distracting, try a bounced flash.

cute shot, but the harsh shadows are a little distracting, and make it look like a snapshot.

Cute setup but hindered by the very harsh lighting.
