This is an illustration from one of the books in my fairytale book collection. I have yet to discover how to take a picture of an illustration without that odd warping of the photo. (sigh) However, even so--this picture is just delightful. The expressions on the faces of the adults are priceless.
I have always enjoyed the story of the Emperor's New Clothes. It not only totally hits my funny bone--thinking of that pompous fellow parading before his people in his birthday suit--but there is such a lesson to be learned from that fanciful story!
The wisdom of a child is often profound. Children see things as they truly are. I think we adults sometimes need to step back and see things through the eyes of a child.

That is so true! Don't worry about warping the photos, I think you are doing just fine. They are all so beautiful!
the picture looks great. I feel as if I might have had this same version of the Emperor's new clothes because it looks so familiar! It's one of my favorite fairy tales. I think it's interesting to look at why we choose certain fairy tales as our favorites.
What an interesting illustration for that story. I enlarged the photo and could see the shock on everyone's faces ... except that guy in the middle. Why is he smiling??? Tee hee!
Clytie's comment cracked me up! I took another gander at the picture....tee hee is right!
If your camera has a zoom, you probably want to zoom a little so you aren't using the widest angle. I have noticed curved lines on my photos, but I never think about the angle when I am shooting, so I am not sure zooming will correct it. Also if you have a macro setting, that might help if you are close.
