Many thanks to my neighbor, friend and lovely model Christina. I tried a new technique on this photo, of zooming my prime while mounted on a tripod for dreamy effect. Probably will tank, but is fun to try and learn, anyway!

what a crazy cool image - i love the theme here - very imaginative and thought provoking. the image itself is very strong with great lighting on Christina's eyes and face - with the flower to 'illuminate' the whole scene. the veiled view with the blinds really enhances this image a great deal, adding the necessary tension and melancholy

I don't get it, how did you zoom your prime? I like the effect though. Let me know how you did this, I would love to try the technique.

Catherine, this is a great shot! One of my favorites in the challenge. I'm surprised it didn't score higher. The only things I see that "I" would change are: Christina's blue necklace is a little distracting and I would have cropped out the window jam on the left. Just trying to be helpful. :-) ~Cecilia

This is a very nice shot. I like the softness to it. I think the yellow really adds to it and is perfectly situated. Nice job Catherine.

Oh, she's so pretty, and the giant sunflower reflecting on her face is great. This is very poignant with that title. Without the title it is a dream calling at the back door. Wonderful composition.

A beyond the literal kind of photo - cool.

Beautiful portrait! Love the use of blinds and the flower in this is awesome.

A nice idea with strong colours, although the way the door/slats are structured ends up taking away more from the shot than it ultimately gives. Your composition is a touch too centred and the gap in the doorway on the left is slightly distracting.

6 from me - good luck

Nice shot... love the flower and the eyes... It lacks just a touch of contrast, but I do like it.

Nice image. The glow in the yellow flower is nice. I think more emphasis on the girls face would be nice.

Neat photo--great color, interest, eyes, sharpness of foreground with blurred background. The only suggestion might be to crop out the shutter frame on the left; it doesn't add anything to the shot and may distract from the subject.

I think this is an amazing photo. My only complaint would be to crop out the left side a little more to rid of part of the panel.
