So, I love these ruby red slippers. So does my daughter....and they remind me of Dorothy for the Wizard of OZ. However, I wanted to tell a sad story of how dreams can be brokien so easily for children. I hope the message comes across....children need hope, not despair, destruction, or abuse.

I like the whole set-up here, especially the shallower depth of field on the right.

The color combination was an eye catcher when viewing the thumb, and the full-size did not disappoint. Nice tones and DoF as well.

Beautiful work, your daughter makes a great model too! : )
The thing that really gets me in this whole image, is the slightly in-turned foot. It adds so much vulnerability and innocence.

yes your message comes across loud and clear .. i spose because of her expression and the fairly stark surroundings .. those slippers do look comfy .. :)

Love that pic on the right, nice job!

The second shot really makes it universal for all children -- without the head and face, it could be *anyone*

I love those slippers too!!!! They pop off of the page with the blue and gre plaid of her nightgown. I think what works most though is the sagging bear. WHAT A STORY!! This is terrific.

Oh how cool, this is really nice! I think the close up photo is my favourite.

I love the colors and processing on this one. Her expression shows such a strong emotion. Great Job!

Just love the colors and the emotion that pores from this photo. Fantastic
