children ...

A beautiful image, it has a symbolic feeling for me in that this is a hopeful image. It's as if this young child is looking out and to a brighter future. Very sweet and well-done. Nice exposure and bokeh, I'd love to see the color version if only to compare. 

Mark,

Thanks so much for your comment.

Here is the color version. I didn't like clipped bright reflection on child's back and I think this flaw looks better in B&W.
