Donna Stavis 0 Posted January 21, 2014 Hi Alberto. Happy New Year. This is nice. I like the duo -- both in pink with fixed looks, but the girl still has an animated face -- I think it's her sparkling eyes. Link to comment
sam_clay 0 Posted January 21, 2014 her expression is lovely, and the light falling against her face is beautiful, as is this beautiful little girl. The one thing i would say is, maybe you should have shifted the camera over to the left more so not to crop out the side of her head....it needs more width on the left. Cute picture though :)) Link to comment

alfbailey 4 Posted January 23, 2014 The angle of her gaze and the innocent face makes for a most pleasing image. The doll seems to be interested in something else entirely! Compliments & Best Regards Alf Link to comment
GailAnthonyHarmer 6 Posted January 25, 2014 She is such a beautiful child Alberto!! It is certainly her posture and gaze that is most intriguing. As well as the reflection in her eyes. It looks like she is staring up at some windows and it looks like there are at least 2 figures in front of the windows, I wonder is she knows them? Lovely image posted Alberto, good to see some new images.kindest regards, love this ont!!! :) Gail Link to comment

jeffl7 0 Posted March 8, 2014 I think this shot has more emotional layers than is reflected in the comments above. Race and identity take hold early. As an adoptive dad, I can assure you that the matter of skin color infiltrates playtime, including choice of dolls. The disparity between the quizzically cute little girl and her blue-eyed companion is worth noting. Ralph Eugene Meatyard did a series in the 60's with semi-abstractions using dolls of different color, and it was a haunting statement about the times he lived in. Nothing's changed much, apart from the fact that racism now slithers beneath the leaves rather than coiling in the sun. Perhaps that's not at all what you were thinking with this shot. My own dear daughter had a several-year patch in which she rejected any Latina dolls--actually banished them from her room--and preferred only blonde dolls. Something self-corrected and of her own accord, she chose a Latina American Girl doll last year who is now adored. Despite our talks about identity and equality, my son only 7 comes home toting comments he hears here and there about skin color--most of them innocuous, but some knock us off our feet. Although taken at face value, it's a pretty shot, but there's more to the story. Link to comment
thadley 15 Posted March 22, 2014 (*_*) - It is funny how I noticed immediately the color of the doll compared to the little girl. I did pause and wonder if it should have been a brown doll. Then I took my life experience as a black person who was adopted by a loving white couple. My conclusion is that her parents should buy 2 more dolls - a "yellow" one and a "brown" one and she should give equal love to all of them. Fine shot by the way. Link to comment
