nykonian, 3 months ago

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, 3 months ago

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.

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

MirandaJL, 3 months ago

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!
