  • nykonian

    nykonian

    I can step into this photograph… It is like a doorway… Liek I am standing there with her… wondering what she is thinking… reveling in her innocence.
    once in a while … a truly amazing photograph captures my imagtination at the same time it captures my attention… and I am speechless… envious… and in awe.
    My own wonderful memories of when my children were little come flooding back into my mind.
    Thank you for sharing…. thankyou for generating such wonderful memories at a time when I feel seperated from my children.
    Ian

  • dougie1

    dougie1

    i agree with nykonian, it keeps drawing me back to it. it’s almost a 3D effect, as if she is going to run out of the photo, as if she isn’t really in it, more sort of sitting in front of it! truly amazing effect.
