Gentle Warrior

Yes, the title says it very well. This is a picture that can easily be missed but there's a certain subtlety to it that beckoned me back again and again so there was something there that hooked me. The very subdued, almost hand-tinted feeling feeling of the color? The expression and pose of the child in her "Amazonian regalia"? I'm not sure what it was but the directness of the shot and the seriousness of the girl caught me.
