Asleep by abhijit

Asleep

This is my 5 year old son fast asleep. He never lets me take photos of him, pulls funny faces and never stays still. So the only time I could take a decent shot was while he was sleeping
This shot is for two challenges.
1. Get pushed 4
2. Tag challenge 49
For the get pushed 4 challenge, I was asked to take simple highkey shots. I found this a lot harder to complete than what I thought it would be. Was not happy with 4 different things I tried.
Then I pushed myself further by deciding to do the tag challenge this week too. For the tag challenge I got mirror and eyes. I didn't want to take the usual eyes shots looking in a mirror. While brain storming for both, I finally came up with this idea and decided to merge the two challenges.
So here is the result, a mirror image with eyes that also is a high key shot.

Hi Patty, this is my response to your get pushed challenge. Hope this is what you had in mind when you set me a challenge to take high key shots.

I absolutely love it. - his mouth slightly open (I believe you when you say he was sleeping!) and those amazing eye lashes are great. Clever idea, putting them together as mirror images. It's really striking. Nice job on your challenge, and good for you, trying something different!

(now if only I could master your low-key challenge...lol )
