Ya'll been too kind as usual. jnconradie, this place is in California Adventure theme park that opened up recently right next to Disneyland. I have been waiting to get an Alice in Wonderland shot. I knew this baby had extreme curiosity, so all I needed was a Wonderland. When I saw water spraying out with poles having eyes on them, I knew this would be my Wonderland. I walked around this place and decided to have her running toward the light - thus I added exposure compensation to avoid a silhouette. When I let her out of the stroller, I made a few quick shots in a burst mode, as if I were shooting sport. She ran very fast for a 1 year old toddler. Sure enough, one of the shot has the skirt and hand position just right. I used a large aperture F2.2 even in sunny sky to maximize the unreal effect, blurring out most of the scene fore/aft of the baby. PP is simple. Just B&W conversion and cloning out a distracting pole.

Stunning! Wow. You have to tell me more about this one, please? Where? What? How? One definitely gives the sense of a young person exploring new and wonderful territory and being in awe of her discoveries. Great take on the theme. Isn't wonderful how different artists can take such divergent routes from the same original "seed" idea! Compliments and regards jnconradie

Its great that we have 3 interpretations on the same theme. All completely different yet clearly relative to the subject. Very cool. Make for an interesting challenge?

This is delightful, Dylan! A wonderful capture. You only need to worry about duplicate titles in the same gallery so the one in Exhibition is no problem for you here. ~Sharon

Hmm, I just noticed the same title in the gallery room. I hope there's no rule that disallow duplicates. -dylan
