Comment by posthumous:
What a strange, perfect moment. Every silly detail seems to mean anything. The positions of mother and child are as eternal as the position of the statue. The boy's casual gesture registers as a mythic pose of aspiration or simply need. I'm awarding you my Posthumous Blue Ribbon.



I won't be around on Monday, so maybe you could announce your victory yourself on the Posthumous Ribbons thread?

I like this - the combination of real, fixed, and moving. Neat shot.

Comment by signal2noise:
The diagonal lines created by outstretched arms that converge at near-perfect symmetry seem to meld into the beautiful face/head that is perfectly aligned with them. The contrast of her rich, dark hair with her soft skin and light, flowing fabric is simply amazing. It appears as though the fabric is being produced from the grains as the model moves through the field and is trying to engulf and capture this free spirit. Yet, the calmness of her expression proves that she is not one to be captured and controlled.

I find this shot totally captivating. Truly one of my favorites on all of DPC. It is just brilliant. Phenomenal image.

Comment by Louisa:
Very nicely captured! The sky looks beautiful, and the the clarity of the buildings and water is great. Only critique would be the over-saturated (somewhat blown out?) green in the building on the left. Very nice overall. 8

My guess is that this shot required quite some planning. I'm not found of the make up with the very dark eyes, but on the other hand they match the hairs, and are providing a nice contrast against the skin tones.
Clothing colors are both perfectly chosen.
