    Joanna's stuffed animals

    Another slide I found while preparing a family photo essay.
    Our daughter had a large group of stuffed animals and dolls on her bed, and I thought I'd have a bit of silly fun and shoot pictures of both kids among them.
    I asked them not to smile, and to avoid eye contact with me when I shot to give them a mannequin-like stare.
    This is the one of Steven.

    You did a great job of posing and your model followed instructions very well; it's difficult to find the child among the playthings.

    Consider toning down the brightest areas of the sheets on the right side just a bit.

    Thanks Mike.
    Here's a hint. He's in the back row.
    This is a crop of the original slide. The scene was illuminated by a lamp on Joanna's night table to our right, and I eliminated the most blown out area to the right with the crop.
    I'd tone down that still brighter area if I knew how to selectively do it, but it is beyond my limited Photoshop skills.
