This is yet another image from my current project. As I mentioned in my previous post I live in a city known more for the crime rate and poverty rather than the beauty that is right in our face. My project attempts to show the hidden beauty of the city while showing what the potential or lack thereof for a young life to be successful or swallowed by its surroundings. My subject holds red flowers..a red ball..and other objects that symbolize hope for a life outside of the "ghetto" or a prosperous, beautiful, and bountifull life within it.

Lenny, what you are going for with this project is both noble and beautiful, but your pictures are falling short, but only because they are out of focus. Spend just a bit more time to make sure you've really frozen the images, that the subjects are in focus. This little girl in your two pictures looks beautiful, as does your framing and locations, but the viewer just can't quite engage because its out of focus.

Thank you o so much for your critique. i absolutely will follow your direction. i am starting out and this is mostly new to me..i thought i was going for a dreamy sort of effect but am just now realizing that it distracting from the message i am attempting to send. I hope to improve with time as this is a work in progress.

THANK YOU AGAIN!

Beautiful photo and also wonderful for the beauty it portrays in other ways. When I viewed it along with reading your narrative, the photo moved my mind to more of a dream type image. Thus the focus becomes less important. Just my humble opinion.
