Child with Hen

Oh, what a sweet expression. Taken at a county or state fair, maybe? Those kids really do love their animals and that comes through loud and clear in the way this girl is cradling her hen.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: A slice of everyday (special?) day magic. You've shot with the eye of a film maker here - story over control. Although the tones are quite flat - this just adds to the sense of ordinary you have crafted.

Critical stuff: It's unfair of me but I do hanker for a bit more sharpness. I'm almost ashamed to admit it.

Overall: Masterfully understated.
