| Deb, absolutely love the expression on her face! I think the conversion to BW and the crop was pure inspiration on your part. CONGRATS!!!! |

Not because of Don's comments :D - well actually it is one of his comments ... the mention of Hitchcock has for some reason set the theme tune to 'Tales of the Unexpected' playing in my head. Even though that was in colour and nothing to do with Hitchcock!
It was a fairground style tune though, and I guess that's my brain just picking up a reference from my youth to match the retro atmosphere, and this photo has that in abundance.
God I hope this makes sense. I came back intending to leave a better comment but I'm not sure I succeeded : ) |
I do think you succeeded. The fact that the picture has brought about differing opinions, references, and strangely, Hitchcockian inferences, means that it's more than just a nice snapshot. It's always interesting to me how different people interpret the same thing, and I'm pleased the "retro" aspect came through, despite the tread on her shoes. And for the record, yours was the one I saw in the challenge that made me say "Gosh, I thought mine was pretty good, but this is better!" for the sheer emotion of it. And I didn't realize these shots were cliche, but I really don't get out much. :-) |

Didn't get to this in voting but I love how you've picked your subject out from the rest of the scene. You just forgot to add some DPC standard water drops :P |

Your shot, however, has a certain Hitchcockian drama to it, and nice oof background adding to the dizziness. |
