Great idea getting her to stand in the light and casting that shadow! I have to scroll around to see the whole image and I kinda like it with her legs cropped off - what do you think? :-) CJ

I like the look and the colors on her in this picture.

I like the slight angle implying a forward leaning posture as if she is being drawn by an inexorable alien force focusing on the girl. The deadpan expression says more like hypnotized than daydreaming but fits the overall effect. Good use of special lighting. -tv

Rod, thanks for the suggestion. I agree and like this a bit better. - angioman

Nicely done Kurt, the topsy turvy nature of the picy seems to suit the leaning this & thats. The picy is a bit too long for my monitor & when the top's cut off, the picy looks a bit better for me. Itsa goodun.

What a clever idea- Debi -Whats your daughters name?

Thanks Jano! I agree there is a bit of a slant, but some of this is due to the wide angle distortion and optical illusion from the curved floor lines. Look at the window lines. I also kinda like the apparent leaning forward - angioman
