I always pictured Little Orphan Annie with bright red hair Rob. This is a good take on her.
Girl looks shy and scared.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Lovely work on this, she has quite the expression on her face. Bet she is wondering what is out there.

Smiles ... Such purity of unfiltered, open emotion in that wee, little face.

I look at the highlights in her hair, the variation of colors in her eyes and on her skin between light and shadow, and I am in complete awe of your immense talent and observant eyes.

I have seen photo's from Appalachia around this time where the people looks very confused being that was probably the first time they every saw a camera.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

I agree with Alex, that she might have been awed and a little scared of the box pointing at her. She certainly has a hesitant appearance to her and quite appropriate as a cover image for the book. "Little Orphant Annie" is an 1885 poem written by James Whitcomb Riley and published by the Bowen-Merrill Company. First titled "The Elf Child", the name was changed by Riley to "Little Orphant Allie" at its third printing (his own interpretation of the word); however, a typecasting error during printing renamed the poem to its current form, using the words "Orphan" and "Annie".
