This is probably my favorite photo that I've viewed on this site. I'm very surprised it didn't ribbon. Everything about this shot is so naturally captivating. A testament to how good this shot is is if you look at my other favs, this is nothing like them, you drew me well out of my comfort zone with this, i.e. I didn't even know I could like a shot like this.
I love everything about this shot. The innocence, the mood, the lighting, the smile, the whisper (?), the tone. Very nicely done. Very natural. I wish I could have voted on it before the challenge ended! 10! My favorite image!
There are so many good shots in this challenge, it's tough to guess which ones are going to do well, but this one should. There's a bit of motional blur on the girls face, but that's a minor nitpick, the transition from shadows to hilights work perfectly in this shot. Anyone who looks at this and isn't taken back to a simpler time must have been comatose during their "wonder years". Back to bump up and add to favs.
