Thank you so much for commenting on this photo that for me also is so unique. As you mentioned the contrast should have been better which might vbe the reason why not so many commented on this.
I took it in poor lightcondition and without a tripod because children move around so suddenly! When seing the girls like this I hurried up feeling that this was just a unique scene.
Thank you so much for your supportive and thorough comment, Andre.

Hi Annemette,
I think this might be one of your best images. Frankly I am surprised that it hasn't had more attention?
If only you had been able to get a similar balance in exposure and contrast that you got in your "bats" image, this would have been an award winner for sure.
I love the way the subjects in the paintings appear to be looking down at the girls on the floor. Just a touch more contrast in the paintings would have brought that fact out even more.
Still this is a very nice image!
Andre

Yes, I also wish that we werenīt so stiff and controlled by norms because lying down on the floor and watching the ceiling this way was the only right way to really see it and enjoy the details and the wholistic feeling that it provided. Psssssst I did lie down with her for a short while when noone was around;-)
Take care sweet Onie

~~GRIN~~ I wish as adults we would forget our inhibitions and do exactly as Anna Sophie is doing... :)))
She is so relaxed Annemette, look at the position of her feet...:))) and the other little one, not looking up, just patiently waiting...
Love this... So wonderful the freedom of childhood...:)))
Excellent dear Annemette...:)))
Onie...

Thank you so much for the work you did on this photo, John!! I didnīt know that it was possible to improve it like this in PS. I especially like how you made the paintings become more visible and darkened the curtains slightly! Iīll save your advice so I can try using this method myself. I love getting such good advice/help that I can use in the future. Thank you again:-)

Annemtte this image is so charming it needs rescueing. Attached is an attempt I made using PS. I used the highlight/shadow adjustment to darken the curtians and then boosted the the lightnesss in the shadows. Then I used curves to bring contrast to the quartertones. Finally, I used unsharp masking at 30% with a 20 pixel diameter to boost the local cotrast a bit. Loved the about!
Cheers - John B

Dear Patrick
Yes, I asked for it and I expect to get it:-) The lightconditions were bad, I wasnīt allowed to use flashlight inside the castle and the children moved about, so indeed a difficult photo.
I would like to learn though how to set up flashlight in a professional way.
Anna Sophie is brought up to notice everything around her and she also does it by nature. To find her lying in the mighty knighthalls looking up at all the most wonderful artwork that can inspire an open heart was indeed a heartwarming sight.
Take care, my friend

OK, Annemette... you asked for it! This is a shot that could have been dramatically improved if you had been able to light it better. This scene really does call for a professional flash lighting set up so that you could balance the light sources inside and outside. Obviously this wasn't possible, so I don't know why I'm saying it really! But as it is, it's lovely. Your 'about' made me feel all warm inside.... altogether, ahhh! The idea of a child being captivated by art in this way makes me feel that the future of this here world of ours might not be as tragic as I often find myself thinking. But then again, with a mother like you, it is no wonder she's growing up to appreciate beautiful works of art that can bring a ray of sunshine into the saddest heart...
