ISO 400, F16, 1/60.
While Dickens did not write "for" children, he certainly wrote "about" them, highlighting the exploitation and despair of the offspring of the lower classes.

  Yes, Alexis these scenes of yours could be right out of the era that Dickens wrote about! This is particularly lovely with the children by the water, you great lighting and a rather somber expressions!

  Looking at this, Alexis, is just like looking at an image from a Dickens Novel!!! The lighting, clarity, details, & mood most certainly captures the feeling of the era!!! This series is certainly a memorable one, Alexis!!! You are one talented lady my friend!!!

  I like the composition and the way you handled the monochrome Alexis. It does look like it could come from a novel although I prefer the colour images.

  this is an amazing shot Alexis. Love the effect and the darker edges that you put is really nice. Everything fits to be a good finalist:)

Thanks for your comment on my picture. It's a little Pug that I just bought last friday. I'm all exited about him. I should put a few more of his cut little face.
