 Josephinum a Seminary Near my home. I have been wanting for a long time to get photos of it. Stopped to get shots and thought it would be neat to have my car in front, and call it the Clerics Car. Then I thought I would have a priest stand next to it. My model does not go to Catholic School but she does wear a uniform to school so I had her stand in during my sunrise shot. She made the photo with the pose, and I thought it just spoke. I love the wood doors so I had to keep them in color. It came together and Team Cosmo helped immensely and made me feel the pupose of the site photographers helping photographers learn.

I like this except the door should not have been in colour...and why is one ribbon yellow and the other not...makes it look a little sloppy in the edit...nice otherwise 6

very nice portrait. I'm glad you chose to leave the door as it is, because it gives the composition balance. I think the girls face could use a little more light on the left side, possible a reflector or fill flash? Other than that, great composition and editing.

This is INCREDIBLY cute!

IMO- the door should have gone B&W too. The girl is great and the composition is veyr nice

Until I scrolled down I thought too posed and rigid and then I saw those lovely crossed legs, they really make it for me! I'm not sure about the door for me it competes too strongly with the model my eyes keep getting drawn away from her to the door. The frontal lighting doesn't help either. Just my opinion, good luck

What was the purpose of putting the front door in color? I am just curious.

Good choice I think to color the door -- it really connects the young girl to the building.

Not sure why you have the doors in color, it doesn't add anything for me.

cute image ... wish you'd desaturated the church doors ... and left her uniform in color ...

I like that the door has saturation too....it kind of makes the connection from the little girl to where she belongs...great image

Why is the door in color?

I love this one. However, I think you should have left the door bw. It seems your eye is instantly drawn to the door. 6

I find the brown door distracting, better if left b&w.
