Girl reading (Sepia)

A few years ago, I participated with my local school to document their

pioneer day where the kids dressed in the garb of the day. I selected

a few of my favorites and would like your comments. Thanks!

my applause for a charming model and a very nice project; the balance, skin tones, and the mood of both youth and tradition are well captured. i am personally in my "texture" phase, and i think this image could add another layer of interest by distressing the background-- making the image look literally about a hundred years old-- maybe crinkle the edges, stain and wrinkle the bricks while keeping the subject as is. just a thought....
