Living in a Fantasy
(03.23.05)

When I first moved to the area, Colonial Williamsburg, I was struck by the number of families visiting who would come all dressed in colonial garb. It happens so often that I now think it common to see children running in the streets dressed in long dresses and playing stick ball or other games that would have been played in the 1700. At times it's difficult tell the tourist from those working at the living museum. This little girl looked like she was thoroughly enjoying the fantasy. This is just your average street shot :)

Image Notes: This image was shot RAW. Very little editing with the exception of the Spotlight filter. I'm deciding if I like the effect.

This is so wonderful Autumn. I just found out that they have a festival like that here next month, though I am not sure if I go since I get another eye-surgery and I do not want to scare the little kids lol. Great image, and I love the lighting you choose with this.

Very dramatic result - I think it works really well here.

Gorgeous girl. I like the spotlight and the fact it's on her hands and just a little bit on her face.

Timeless!

I like it. The little girl just pops right out when you open the thumbnail. A beautiful image.

Cool shot, I'm undecided about the spotlight effect as well.

So cute! Yeh, I like the spotlight effect. Must be like living in the Twilight Zone there.

Exceptionally good composition. Great use of lighting. It soft and not sharp. Excellent. This is a hang it on the wall.

I like this very much. It's playful and yet intense.

This is a great capture. You live in the most extraordinary place! I think the light treatment is nice, too.

She has a look that says her hatband is a bit tight :>) It is however a lovely image & I like the idea of people wanting to go back in time & dress up.
