Basia this is fantastic. When I look at this shot I feel as though I am looking at a little girl so much bigger than the ocean. It is the framing of the shot. It’s brilliant.

Wow, perspective, tones, the look, all perfect!

“To photograph is to hold ones breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeing reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.” Henri Cartier-Bresson.

brilliant basia, excellent contrasts and composition

Excellent mono work,oozing atmosphere!!

This is brilliant Basia!

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

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.

so lovely. i like this angle!

She is so beautiful …lovely image!

Great drama here! I like the angle and your format! Bravo!

Brilliant!! The b&w tones are superb!!

Great composition…brillant work Basia

Wow. Great shot Basia. I love the strong contrast. Superb work

Wonderful shot, Basia. The angle and perspective are fabulous, and the contrasts and moody sky are super. Lovely image,

gorgeous black and white, I think the white clouds behind this little girl really work in keeping the eye focused on the subject as does the darkness around the edge. You have also been very successful in achieving the mood. its a truely amazing photograph and I’m impressed. Hope you continue to explore B&W photgraphy of this nature

Wonderful shot. Almost doesn’t look real. Lovely moody B&W.
My 6 year old was looking over my shoulder at this picture and asked “Did she get washed up?” An interesting perspective, I thought!
Great!

A wonderful candid portrait, Basia…full of childlike adventure, intrigue and wonder !!! Your low angle and the B&W really make this a “Top Image” !!! Well Done !!

You and everyone else knows that this is a wonderful image.
Now you know that I know it’s a wonderful image. :-}
