Deep in Thought

When age and wane have taken their toll
To watch through eyes, deep into a soul
To see a face and reminisce
Being caught in the moment,
a moment like this
Releases a passion, and feelings of joy
Alike to a child with a brand new toy
When innocence stops you dead in your tracks
It makes your heart stop, you breath,
then relax
But what of a moment, is there left to keep
It jumps in and out without a peep
And unless it is caught and frozen in time
The moment is gone,
not yours nor mine.
Yet to look at a child and ponder her thought
Wishing and hoping shes free from fraught
to see eyes in the moment, not blinking
Is a moment to honour what she is thinking

Deep in Thought belongs to the following groups:

Thank you StacyLee, thought I would put selective colour on this as the serene look of her face suits the mono, but the flowers in her hair were so vibrant I thought I would keep them in.

She really does look like she’s off in another world. I do wonder what she was thinking. Beautifully captured, and I love the selective desaturation.

Hi Julie,
I think I commented on another photo of your that was totaly excellent. I adore this photo with the gray tones on her body and the color on the floral goodie on her head.
The color floral takes away from the beautiful young lady. I suggest making all of her body in more brightness & contrast. Doing that would make a person’s eyes go straight to her eyes, which I feel you want to be outstanding.
Take care, Bonnie
