From Sunset to Bedtime

In the dictionary ‘Evening’ from sunset to bedtime, I thought how do I portray bedtime, and came up with this idea, I created a window frame made some curtains and set it up on a second tri-pod placed in front of the camera at a distance that I believed would work with a 60mm lens, because of the dof required both long and short pushed the aperture out to f32 with most shots taken at -1 or 2 stops. Used the on board flash to fill the silhouette of the frame, hope you like it as much as I did shooting it.

Those curtains are too cool...! No, really, I'm not making fun. My son is totally in to Cowboys stuff. Ok the photo: it's certainly evening and more then I can say about a lot of the photos.

I like the concept. The sun, rays and sky are excellent. The light on the curtains and frame is a bit harsh and uneven. The curtains are also cropped in a way that is distracting. I think this should would be better without the curtains. They are too busy for the rest of the image.

wow, this is a great idea, with a great view and a great window, if you cropped this so it only showed the bottom 3 panes and no curtain, it would be amazing, or showed all 6 panes but had a less busy curtain, I could see it framed on a wall, 8
