 Nice day today, so took my daughter to Fairyland in Oakland. Built in 1950, some say this is the park that inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland. I used to go there as a kid, and have great memories of the place ... particularly the Alice in Wonderland exhibit, pictured here. Starts off as a tunnel with images from the book painted on the wall.

This is shot in the tunnel. I went around a corner, then asked my daughter to come slowly around the bend, looking like she was searching for something. I think her expression here works well to fit the challenge, but we'll see. Not sure how this will do ... lately seems everything I do is a 5.3!

I think on this one our little alice's pose bothers me a bit. I would either like to see a full profile or see her open up a bit more. The 3/4ths thing she has going on right now doesn't give me what I was hoping for. Additionally, the blur on her skirt at the bottom can be a bit distracting.

It looks the part. One minor nitpick: colors don't strike me as quite strong enough for a recreation of a storybook scene.

Nice composition and colors. I like the interesting background.

You captured the mood for sure. I'd try and take some of the yellow out of her, the caste from those walls are making her look a tad sickly.
