Thanks for the views, comments and votes. This little girl thought for a second she had lost her parents but they were headed for her just out of frame.

Genuine. Well shot. Love the foreground bokeh. Colors are spot on.

I like how you really focused on just the girl. Excellent picture, I think everyone can relate... good luck!

At first I was not sure if I liked how you blurred everything except for the girl. But this pic kind of grows on you and I find that your processing really helps emphasize the emotions of the moment. Poor thing, I hope she found who she was missing!

Poor thing! Very nice capture. I really like the image and what you have done with the background to make the scene authentic but keep the background from overpowering our poor lost little girl.

Your photo brings a different look at the subject searching. Nice one. 8.

I'm a mom...way to evoke emotion! I want to run over and help her! Great shot...excellent color and comp! The DOF really works...you isolated the subject very well.

Touching scene. Great DOF highlighting the distressed girl amid the scene of many people doing their own thing oblivious of her.

I gave this an 8 on the first run through. Coming back to comment and look at it a bit closer I can see some technical issues with it. Primarily the halo around the girls head. The selective blur I like as it makes her stand out well but a bit cleaner job editing would have been nice. Did she find her parents?

OMG, my heart almost leapt at this.... a child's (and parent's) worst nightmare - very well executed.

I hope you didn't make the girl cry just for the photo. 2 point deduction for being mean ;-)

the blur and the space around the girl separate her form the background and add to the sense of isolation which tells the story well.

Good use of selective blur to isolate the girl from the rest of the crowd.

This caught my attention while scrolling through the entries. The DOF really centers your attention on the child. Her bright clothing is very eye catching.

very nice concept. I like everything else, except the girl out of focus.
Could have also tried capturing their movement for a couple of seconds to make it really blur (except the girl). But i like the shot anyway

aww, hope Mum or Dad wasn't too far away. Blurring bg helps make her pop too, 8

I sense panic! A motion blur for the background figures may have been a little more effective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Perfect expression, nice colors and good idea to use the blur. Having said that, you could have applied the blur better by making it gradual using the lens blur function as the blurring of stray hairs and the shadows right beneath her feet hurt the image IMO.

awwww! I hope you didn't spot edit in the DoF here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/08/2007 02:45:45 PM
A very SCARY moment and captured perfectly, the colors are great!! Hope she found her mom/dad!! Hope you do well.

I really like this photo. It evokes more of the feeling of 'lost' or 'abandonment' than 'searching' for me, but still tells a great story.

AWWWWW Great focus and DOF
