Christmas tradition

[Bobbie0253]

At the in-laws they have a tradition of looking for the pickle ornament on the tree. The kids really enjoy it. I shot it with just the lighting in the room and a 50mm lens. I got the lens as were were headed out the door to go there (early present YAY!), so this was one of the first shots I took with it.

I was aiming for a storybook feel. Did I blow it? Or is it okay?

Nope, you didn't blow it. I think its a beautiful shot. I love how you captured the expressions on their face. Good job!

I agree, nice shot.

If "storybook feel" was what you were going for, then this photo nails it.
Otherwise I personally would find it way too warm in colour temperature (in other words: too yellow). But since your objective was something different from "a normal photo", you are on the right path.

Congrats on the 50mm lens, by the way! It take some time to getting used to "zooming physically", but the sharpness of the lens makes up for all that .
