This is sequence of photos I took to capture the essence of the Queen of Hearts character in Alice in Wonderland. These were my favorite photos of the ones I took. I tried to make the color red stand out, because it symbolizes the queen and her dangerously demented spirit. The Queen of Hearts is an intense character who's a bit insane and blood thirsty. Her famous line "Off with their heads!" gave me the inspiration to add headless barbies to the photo series. Comment on what photo you like best. I love getting feedback. I am thinking of trying to put two or three of the photos together, perhaps in a photo story or diptych, I'm just not sure which photos to use yet. I used the Rule of thirds in many of the photos. I also used mostly incandescent lighting, except the fourth photo has a different light source, which is why her skin appears so pale, but I think I prefer the warm light source. In photo shop, I increased the saturation and contrast in the pictures to make the color red and the shadows, especially around her eyes, appear significant. 
This is a great set of photos! You chose the perfect model and set up to convey the Queen of Hearts. I love your use of the color red throughout. My favorites are the mirror shot and the Barbies shot. They have the most interesting compositions and tell a story most clearly. I could see these as a photostory easily, with a couple of close up shots of items such as the crown or Barbie head. Well done! Looking forward to your next group of images.
