That's an absolutely beautiful photo. What a great photograph, compositionally, your brilliant colour choices, and everything else. It reminds me of a lovely spare piece of music by Brian Eno called "Bloom", on the CD "Drawn From Life". The music is quiet and beautiful (like this photo), but it's made all the more lovely because you can hear Eno and his two young daughters chatting quietly about breakfast and helicopters and peas porridge, and other things. Thanks for this fantastic photo, 9.
Wow. simply wow. I love your shot. The colors, the sharpness of the eyes of the model, the dark areas add to the shot too. Everything is nice and fits well. Very well done! Congrats!
I wonder why she looks so sad? She got the balloons didn't she? Maybe she wants to grow up to be in one of those goth-girl balloon photos with the black balloons...
