Freeze, dirtbag!

*laugh* Greg, the title of this image is "Where is Clyde, Princess Bonnie?" She cracked me up with this...in her princess dress, with a purple gun, and that squint of the eye. It made me laugh.

Don't mess with Cinderella, she's packin' heat!

Redheads have attitude, I know, I am one too. (Perhaps that makes me biased.)

Cute.

What a cutie! Not sure it has the best feeling of drama here, but I like her face :)

dawn said 818 days ago:

You know, cat, I wasn't going to put this in because I wasn't sure about "dramatic."

However, the theme info says, "This week's goal is all about finding the unique differences in people. Focus on a person and bring out their individual character." and this definitely tells a lot about her individual character.

Very cute - but not dramatic.... those redheads are real trouble y'know

cat said 818 days ago:

dawn - you are right. She certainly does have bags of character :)

Delineated said 818 days ago:

Haha, she reminds me of my little sister when she was young. I love the hand-on-hip attitude and snarky look.

CaptureThis said 818 days ago:

dawn...I have the same problem with the word "drama" in this theme.

The guidelines for the theme indicate character to be the dramatic element. That's how I've been evaluating the submissions. Based on whether or not I get a "sense" of something about the person's personality, mood, and character, not just a posed studio portrait.

I think this shot does that quite well. Little package with a big attitude as firey as her hair.

That Cinderella. I always knew she had it in her!

dawn said 818 days ago:

I do know about redheads. :-) Although she's my niece, we've been told time and again that we look exactly alike...redheads, freckles, blue eyes...she's my 7-year-old doppelganger.

Thanks all, for your feedback. I really appreciate it.

Hehehe...Anney Oakley. It's a great shot to get if you're the parent. Technically I wish there was more light on her face, it's all on her hair. Maybe some shallower Depth of Field might have added something to the image. Compositionally it might have been interesting for you to be lower - on eye-level with her, but there's something about a little kid with a gun that really works best if she's pointing up at you. Either way, a keeper for you and her.
