Tension Points
How often have you taken your dolls outside for some photos, then when you downloaded them on your computer,
there were distracting things in the background? We tend to focus so much on getting our dolls posed just right, that

There were also large numbers in the concrete - the date on an old building facade - and they also were rather distracting....
To minimize the tension points, I moved over a little more, and took another photo. There's still a concrete curl
on one side of her head, but at least the huge spirals are not coming out the middle of her head anymore...

So next time you are out and about taking photos of your dolls, try pay attention to what's
in the background so you don't end up with distracting tension points.....like this urn right behind Byuri's head....

...or the iceberg resting right on top of Nami's hat....
...or this photo where two of the girls have floral top-knots.....
All you need to do is move your doll over a bit to either side, or move yourself so the
offending object(s) isn't causing a problem in the background anymore. Like this.....
