Sepia candid shot

[helga]

I don't know if this one falls into the 'highly progressed' category? I basically turned it into sepia in Lightroom and did not really touch other buttons.
The picture was taken this weekend. It figures the 2-year old of some friends who was standing at the windowdoor, hesitating if she would go outside or stay inside. I happened to be there and quickly took this shot.
It would probably have been nice to have her legs too on the picture, although the focus was supposed to be on the upper part and arm. It would not have been possible anyway, I had my 85mm lense on, no room to get at a bigger distance and mostly there was no time to change lenses.
The parents loved the picture, but hey, they are the parents so I would really like to know what you guys think about it. Thanks!

I like it a lot, I don't think you need the legs in the picture

Hello!

I agree with the precedent comments - apart maybe the pink suggestion. The sepia look is great, well composed and really nice lightning, which for a candid photo is a lot! I don't miss the legs, probably because of the robe's skirt. Plus you were able to capture the hesitation of the little girl.
I like it lot.

I agree - I think it is a well crafted picture, great subject, theme and processing. Composition is nice and the sepia tone adds to the uncertainty of the little girl I think, like a distant memory of key moments in life when you were at a crossroads.
