Like in this photo, but then I come back and I like the affect even if it was a nasty accident. ONly light PP here just a little contrast boost, then resize and sharpen.
Please let me know what your thoughts are.

Craig this is more along the lines of some of Leighs photos.
Not my cup of tea ( at the moment) I'll come back again later and have another look. After a nice couple of Scotch's

Craig, honestly I can't say that I am overfussed. The child looks like she's had a big scare

doesnt work for me either,
If it was going to be a high key shot, I think everything else in the shot should be white also, and even then back the amount of overexposeure back on the child.
the coloured stuff in the photo ruins any effort to make this a stricktly high key shot.

Steve, I've heard this High key term used in a few threads in the last couple of days, for a relative newbie can you explain what you mean exactly by high key ?

because I am essentially lazy, I asked google to define high key for me
this is what mr google has to say: High key: A photographic term denoting an image whose average brightness is significantly greater than 50% gray. For example, the proverbial polar bear in a snowstorm, eating an ice cream cone is a well-known example of a high key image.
It doesnt necessarily have to be all white for instance, its just that in this case the images is predominantly white except for the coloured stuff that isnt in keeping with the rest of the image.
even so it seems too over done.

Well, I'm going to be different! I think its great and certainly pushes the envelope. Sometimes you have just got to do something different!

Same here, I think you've captured the facial expression well with a minimum amount of detail. The only thing I'd do perhaps is play with different crops to get rid of some of the distracting clutter around the kid (without removing too much context, though).
Cheers
Steffen.

Craig,
Not my style of photography but if you are into abstarct/arty type shots, it has some positives. Keep experimenting, mate.
Cheers

It is quite different but with a fairly heavy left and right crop I actually like it

Thanks Steve, is this perhaps what you had in mind, or is the crop too tight ?

Hi Craig,
the tight crop works a lot better, but still doesn't do it for me. Great to see you going out of your comfort zone.
Cheers,
