This week I have been narrowing in on my subject. I want to get closer lessening the amount of background space giving the composition a neater appearance. In japanese fashion magazines points are hi-lighted parts of a larger complicated outfit to show emphasis for something that may be lost in the bigger picture. I would like to focus in on what is cute. Simplified images of the basic elements of cute. Pink things, ribbons, bows, pastel colors, and toys would be some of the items I would be focusing on.  the last critique it was mentioned that I should simplify the background and simplify and unify the lighting.  This first photo has too much going on. Tomoko Sawada is a Japanese photographer who takes pictures so simplified they remind me of a passport photo. Her photos still read as cute without all of the decorative features surrounding the girls.
