love the little drip on her nose…........this is so special, so emotive….....I think this might really make some people move emotionally that’s for sure. She is a doll….........Thanks for sharing, you are very very talented. xkc

Empress….... I just looked at the photo again after reading your comment and I thought… O, it does so very much look like that! This is my 3 year old daughter and she was playing in the rain for the first time…... it was a warm day too!

Janine Tinley, about 1 year ago

this image looks like a film still from an epic drama of some kind but also reminds me of the “little match girl story”. the image treatment is stunning!

Andy Harris, about 1 year ago

the picture is great – it almost forces you to get inside the little girl’s head and want to understand her story, emotions and future….

Stephen Mitchell, about 1 year ago

Another great shot of your little girl. This photograph could represent so many different emotions, from desperation to humility. Again, excellent lighting and framing. The detail in that left shoulder is amazing.

Jennifer Resemius, 12 months ago

love, love your work. my mother showed me your work and it’s inspiring.

Daniel Rarela, 12 months ago

this is another winner! the great thing about this is that it’s the exact same subject matter, but the way its composed here, combined with your daughters pose gives this photo a more somber feel, as opposed to the other masterpiece of yours where she looks absolutely carefree and happy!

::thumbs up::

Amazing effect – portrait.

Primavera1, 3 months ago

um, I would hate to think that she was sick the next day from being left out in the rain getting soaked, just for an amazing shot, it is an amazing shot however.

Nancy Coyle in reply to Primavera1’s comment, 3 months ago

Please rest assured that I would NEVER put my child in harms way to get a “cute” picture.

It was a very warm day, and a storm rolled in. She wanted to try out her new umbrella, so I let her.It was not planned. It was then that I pulled out my camera. She put down the umbrella, and was dancing around in the rain.

In this shot she sat down and was slapping her feet in the puddles that formed. Not sad at all. Although it does come across that way and I found it to be an emotionally provoking image and maybe one of my favorite of her.

Every picture you see that has my child in it was not planned. She would not cooperate for me.

Thanks for all the continued comments and support of this image!!!!

Primavera1, 3 months ago
