Uploaded: October 24, 2005
Recropped this one, increased contrast slightly, applied touch of color, and dreamy filter in PS.

OK...I need your votes on this one!! Which image do you prefer?? #1992460Kimberly Peck October 24, 2005
Love the perspective on this! My vote is for #1 :-) #1992494Dale Ann Cubbage October 24, 2005
What a beautiful vision, Brianne! I love both, but for some reason I'm more drawn to the second one. I like more color in it, I guess. But it's beautiful either way!da #1992518

I love both! I think I'm more drawn to the 2nd one. Great job either way! #1994815Megan p October 24, 2005
I like #1 too, it looks more dreamlike to me. I love the perspective on this. She looks so wonderfully girly. #1994930Brianne Norgaard October 24, 2005
Thank you, everyone for your great comments and your votes! Megan, I, too, think this one is such a wonderfully "girly" moment... #1995109April Riggs October 26, 2005
Lovely picture and girl! I love the way you frammed this shot. #2000517Brianne Norgaard October 26, 2005
Thanks so much, April! I originally had her centered in the frame, but felt this was much more dramatic. #2001163Lori S. Aschbrenner November 06, 2005
I love this! The composition is perfect use of negative space. The motion captured in this little girl's twirling dress is PERFECT. This image is perfect. #2042665Brianne Norgaard November 07, 2005
Thank you, Lori, for your wonderful comments!! #2046192Emily Koch November 16, 2005
Thanks Brianne for your recent comments on some of my photos. I see we share the same passion. I am just opening my own studio in Northeast Iowa in the next month. I am so anxious! I love the composition and angle that this was shot at. It does remind of a dream. Awesome job! #2082507Brianne Norgaard November 16, 2005
Thanks for commenting on so many of my pics, Emily. I just recently moved from Sioux Falls, SD to the Chicago area. I am sure you will do quite well where you are at -- there is a need for our style of photography in that area. #2083308Emily Koch November 16, 2005
Oh- I was hoping that you were still in Sioux Falls. That is where all my extended family lives and I will be there next weekend. I could have given you tons of referrals. I grew up in Marshall, Mn which is 90 minutes from Sioux Falls. I looked at your website and love it. My site is www.gigglesngrinsphotography.com. It is pretty basic for now. I also have many of my pictures at www.photo.net/photos/giggles. It is a site similar to BP where you get ratings and feedback. If you have time, take a look. #2083326Life Expressions November 23, 2005
