Please look at this photo very quietly. The beanie babies are sleeping and we don't want to wake them up.

Lighting is what makes a mundane scene into something special. I think that is the case here. Well done Gayle!

Some thinly sliced cucumber maybe? Actually I did realise the highlights were harsh, but by the time I'd come to that realisation, everything was packed up and put away. I wanted it to look like light from a hallway when you open a childs bedroom door during the night to check on them....the light often falls across the sleeping toys.
Thanks for the comments!

I love the comp on this one, it's real fun and cuddly cute! Purely for (*), whilst lighting is well placed and effective, it's just a little harsh on the highlights. Maybe some kind of vegetable based diffuser would help soften it :-)

Very nice job with the lighting Gayle. You are very good at this. I'm taking notes.

Good idea, and lightning is valorising the subject(s)as usual. Perhaps the second one from the right risks to wake up if he takes so much light on the face :)

Yup, Gayle just went grocery shopping for more bananas. :) I like the lighting and fits the sleeping beanies theme. I am typing very lightly so I won't wake them up.

Seriously it's a great pic and the lighting gives it a great feeling
