This photograph first grabbed my attention because, at first glance, the shadows of the chain link fence made me think she was wearing a veil. I think it is a beautiful photograph. There are plenty of great pictures of beautiful children without chain link fence shadows and the decision was obviously deliberate and it would not be the same photograph (nor, I speculate, picked by "the elves") without it. Why are so many comments trying to take the chain link fence out? I like the grittiness of it superimposed on a young, innocent and beautiful little girl. I think it's a strong statement about fashion and the perception of beauty in all cultures. It is a brilliant shot.
