You've broken a lot of rules, but you had to. Part of the kid's face is covered up by her hand. Her frazzled hat says a lot about her informal nature. Her eyes see the world anew. You overcame the texture of her skin by overexposing it. You emphasized a lightness in the face and in the background. It's her kid's view of life as seamless and not bound by physical constraints. If you planned this shot, you're a very smart photographer. Otherwise, you're very lucky and so is that kid. And that first rate camera and lens made it all come true. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
