A wonderful image and title....we all need 'a moment' from time to time in this busy world. I like the pose, and the grey colour/pattern of the fence makes a great background....lovely work, Steven...Jacquie
Well m8, to tell you my honest thoughts on this photo, and honest I will be . . . . .
This IS one of the best photos I have ever seen on this site, for me, everything about it is so good, the capture, the title, the colour, focus, composition.....spot on.

faved as I type this comment. Steven this is excellent and I agree about the weathered fence as backgound. Superbly done my good friend. >< ♫ :)sandi ♪ ♫ ♪ .
The lost expression and detached gaze set such a mood of total isolation into her own thoughts.
As so many times in your photos you don't just capture a person or face but what is going on in their heads and hearts as well.
Hey Steven,
Such a sweet and innocent face and pose,
I noticed the image before when I was too buzzy doing something else,
Now I saw it in VB (high marks), just had to stop by to leave some words, (~8

lovely composition with the young one bashfully leaning out of shot,apparently in a world of her own.i think the out-of-focus wooden backdrop complements the sensitivity of the subject very well.i would go as far as to say a masterpiece.very well done.favourite material without a doubt.best wishes,simon.
What a beautiful child! I was a towhead too. Wish I still had a complexion like this. lol You sure know how to catch the mood. I love that lens, Steven.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

A beautiful private moment captured. Love those long eyelashes too :) Excellent pose with her off to the side. She shines against the bland background. Super job Steven!
