Went out for the day yesterday with Alison ( epz AlleyCatz) & Wooly to an great abandoned farmhouse close to my home.
We took along a few 'extras',including my Granddaughter,Paige whom you have seen several times & will certainly see again 
Lots of preparation went into this shoot,we did have plenty of 'props' filling the cars,some were used,some not...better to have too much than not enough
This was taken in one of the rooms of the house, in daylight,no jp'ery in Photoshop,just 'as was'
Paige was a star...a great model,especially when she had 'Uncle Alan' to keep her occupied
Great day out guys,thanks for the company...as always 
Thankyou for taking the time to look/comment.

Thanks guys.
Cheers for your thoughts Cole,slightly less room in there than I would have liked TBH & I really wanted Paige & the back of the chair to be in focus,I tried with the lens slightly more open but I lost the detail where I needed it to be.I suppose I could have 'shopped' it but then I think you can always tell & it don't look real does it ?
Quote: She looks beautiful
She certainly is & I love here dearly...but.........do not let that look of purity ,beauty & innocence fool you though...she is a right little madam sometimes

Janet, Paige is a star as is your conception and execution of this portrait. A good day out indeed.

Foreground: A+
Background: B-
She's a star Jan .... I really do like how you've staged this but for me the background is too much. The bricks are too big, too geometric for the tale you're telling. Niggles I know, but with a different background this could be magical.
Cheers Dave...I could have removed the bg & dropped her in another...but I didn't ...so get me some smaller bricks then 
Seriously...I think I know where you are coming from,I guess I needed more of the actual room itself to avoid the niggles & create the magic huh ?
I wanted to sit her by one of the fireplaces in that house but the light just wasn't right,too much on one...too little on another ( try telling Paige to sit still for a longer exposure...lol...not a good idea !! )...ho hum,maybe a return visit could be on the cards,I need to bribe her with something good
On the other hand you could pop over for a visit & show me what you mean...perhaps that would alleviate some of your boredom
