The Barefoot child

Thanks in advance :-)

I like this image, and I think it got a far greater potential to be better.

 

Regards.

Nice capture and super composition.  What if you lightened and opened up the front where the little girl is and darkened the back.  The way it is now, the viewer's eye is pulled back away from the child to a blurry uninteresting distance and a dill but bright sky.  Try darkening that too.  What do you think?

… a splendid komposition. Besides… the photo loks like it is coming from the 30 or 40´.

I appreciate your suggestion about the image.
Need to play with your idea regarding focus.

Thanks :-)

 

Thanks :-)

wonderful street shot, Arthur... all alone on that street in her bare feet carrying a big stick or pole and ready to play... it's darling... and your treatment does make it look like a faded photo that could have been taken in the 30's... ;-} dp

Thanks :-)

Hi Arthur,

 

I would not change it. It is splendid the way it is. Lynne describes the way our brain will most likely view the scene, but this is a moment in time captured by the camera and it does not have to look the same as our brain will process this scene.

Thanks Andrew your comment is much appreciated.

!!!!

Drew your comment is much appreciated.

Impressive as a singular artwork; more excellent because of the implication of an untold story. This is what what makes great photography.

Thanks Wayne, your comment makes me proud. Best Regards Arthur

Another artistic, unique capture of the expression of a face....and this time a child. A whole story has evolved from the distance up to this point. What could the story be? DG

This is one of my own favourites.

Taken an early Sunday morning in Old-Town (Stockholm). Her mother was working in an architect agency while the barefoot girl was playing outside.

Best regards. Arthur
