There's another shot like this which seems equally mis-titled. Excellent portrait, great sense of feeling to it, but that feeling, for me, is most certainly not innocence. It could be the moment of the loss of innocence, perhaps, and would be the more powerful for that being the case. It speaks to me of that moment when the realisation dawns that maybe all one's dreams are not achievable ... amybe there just isn't the time, maybe one has to learn to live a life unfulfilled, or of constant struggle against the hand one has been dealt. Titles ... the only words you get to offer us.
Unlike some of the other children's photos in this challenge, this one reallly calls out to me. The expression is priceless. Only one thing. I recently learned that focus should always be placed on the eye closest to the lens. But then again, this works too. Just a thought. 7.
