I truly appreciate your comment. It is a bit discouraging and I thought it would do better technically wise. It was hard to hear the negaive comments about the subject being that he is my son and I just was taking the photos of him in the tub while daddy was watching him. I just so happened to click at the very moment and daddy grabbed a towel, but then I don't feel I need to explain the situation. The photo expressed a feeling and that id what I like to portray in my photographs, feelings/emotions. Thanks again for your support! |

| I like the tight crop and the black/white. Not sure about the topic, though, as it is unpleasant to look at. |

your high key treatment causes the soapbubbles to actually obliterate her face. So what we have is a highly emotive facial expression, but also a highly emotive existential effect. She seems to be mourning her own disappearance. Because she is vanishing into a field of glowing white, and because her distress is marked by eye and mouth, which are strong, dark shapes, I am reminded of Dylan Thomas:
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I realize that I have inverted things, and made death white instead of night, but that's an easy enough transition to make and it fits the other inverse: old to young. Perhaps she is raging against birth instead of death! or maybe I have just taken that step too far... anyway, 10 |

| Poor sweety. It was the stingless soap, I am pretty sure. It's hard to look at children being sad. |
