Does the subject's expression speak to you in any way?

what is mostly speaking to me is trying to figure out what she has in her hand? I think this shot would have been stronger without it. Cheers, Catherine

NOW? Now you're submitting it for critique?? Wow, Michael! I find that I have to be SUPER observant to follow you. :-)

 

The images in this entire folder are very intimate - in a fun, playful kind of way that children really can only be when they're with someone they trust. She looks like she enjoys posing for you. I like this in B&W. Does her expression "speak to" me in any way - well, it makes me wish that I were the photographer because of that playful look on her face - like "take more photos of me!"

Thanks for the feedback, Catherine, Lou Ann. It's a walkie-talkie in her hand which I thought gave the posture context.

 

You're right, Lou Ann, she does enjoy posing and has a knack for it - one of those rare qualities, I find. It also makes for a fun shoot where interesting candids are almost always guaranteed. :-)
