I don't usually comment on photos but I had to say a few things about this great photo. So many strong elements:
- Blurred background focuses on the little girl and more specifically her long shiny beautiful hair.
- Not looking into the camera gives the picture a mysterious quality. It also demonstrates that she is trying hard pushing ahead in spite of her arm cast which adds a element of sadness. The B&W style also adds to the sadness.
- There are many emotions within this single photograph - hope, sadness, endurance, strength. It's what the artistic side of photography is all about.
And I can't believe that you've done it with a Rangefinder. You have accomplish what most photographers with a bagful of equipment simply cannot do. Congrats!
Overall, just a great picture. Thanks for sharing.
