fantastic capture. all around great shot.

Brilliant shot, great use of colour too

Great shot and a great crop to capture the emotion. I also like the way the colours are so naturally muted to highlight the figure – very well done!

Just a perfect piece.

i love this. It tells a story and asks some questions.

A very moving image… well done!

Beautiful image.

poignant….
I think we all might have been this child at one point in our lives….

I think this is terrific, that one moment caught forever.

I needed to take a second look at this. Powerful portrayel.

Tired? Bored? Sad? Who knows, but you captured a wonderful moment. Bet she didn’t know she was a work of art too! Love thetones the crop, the mood.

I think you should do more with the human emotion side of things – this is great. Although i love the raw, detached emotion in your captures of street-scapes etc too.

Awesome shot… you’ve captured a wonderful moment here. It could be interpreted in so many ways. For me the whacky twist/tilt to her feet makes me think shes whimsically bored.

in every way I stopped here to stare.. to ponder.. to awwwwww. what a wonderful image.. so full of good feeling.. congratz on the human factor here.

Oh my.. what Am I doing here ..when I was 4 year old.. I can not believe it!!
wonderful capture!!

It´s a fantastic work, oh yes!!! Oh, it´s you Lorena???
