Linda,
I wish I were a member sooner. I realize this may be too late. But I couldn't pass up saying something about these photos. I really love how you set this up, with all of the fabric, and the overstuffed red chair. I am really attracted to it and can't wait to see the final piece!
I am not a pro by any means! But I just wanted to tell you that I like the first one the best! I think the composition is wonderful. I love that even amongst all the business of the thick fabrics, and floral prints, there is no competition, the girl wins! My eye stays with her, and I think that creates a sort of subtle power for the girl - and perhaps that fits her character?
I also think it looks very natural, as though you were walking by and caught her day dreaming/ thinking about something. And also, her hand playing with her foot helps it look so natural.
Anyway, just couldn't pass it up. I'm jealous actually!
