When I first saw this little girl, her big brown eyes and braids reminded me of someone from the American Prairie.  To emphasize the eyes I used a very shallow depth of field with a 135mm defocus Nikkor lens set at f/2.


For this image with the shell I wanted a warmer color reminescent of sunset on a beach.  I placed a tungsten light behind her and allowed it to flare into the lens.
A soft window light gave this image its slightly cooler color.  Only the eggs in the nest are in focus as, once again, I used the 135mm defocus Nikkor set to f/2 on the Nikon D3s.  In Photoshop I darkened the area around the eggs to make them stand out even more.
