Well, I read the post, thinking I was being propped up for some "low expectations" before I saw the pic.
My first impression (excuse the vernacular) was:
"Dang, that's good. What the heck was Walt talking about?"
The message of "old ways" or vintage ... is harmonious between the subject and the processing (to emulate vintage). To me eye this processing is very period correct with all it's vintage "flaws" etc. and I can say I would have easily been fooled by it in print as a truly old image (on an old paper).
Imo, it's a money shot ... 12 year old or 112 year old.
The only thing that comes to mind for me regarding nit / feedback for teaching would be the touch of "keystoning" that seems to be present with her mill sides "leaning back". It isn't a problem for this particular image, but it might be a teaching point relative to shooting from low angle for her to watch for. Some isn't usually overly problematic (as the case here), but as a new / young photographer, it (might) be a technical point to discuss.
That said ... you might want to just NOT say anything about it yet (i.e. don't confuse the young mind with it now @ unbridled is pretty darn good as is), but keep it in your hip pocket to show her ... IF ... it starts to show as an issue routinely as she progresses. Shhhhh, maybe later. ...Show more →
Thank you Kent for the feedback, I agree with you about the keystoning, another lesson point as she grows, didn't want to confuse her to much just yet on the processing.
She was very excited about your comment, and wants me to convey thanks.
