yes yes yes. love it. i won't bore you with any technical opinions, because those are pretty much irrelevant in this shot. here are the things i like:
1. the diagonal pointing to her feet. As if she couldn't draw your eye enough as it was, the diagonal makes you take her in. fabulous.
2. the 'glow'. can't tell if you dodged it in, or if it was just there from the natural lighting. she seems to have a halo atound her, and just behind her on the wall is a diffuse glow that lights her up perfectly. to me lighting is the most important aspect of a photo, and this subtlety is the thing i can't miss about it. It looks like you've maybe burned the wall in front of her (again, maybe natural and very fortunate). this holds her captive for an instant...like a wall in front of her or something. The shadow that's making her stand there for us to get that extra fraction of a second with her. parfait.
3. The texture of the road, combined with the faint yellow line on the road behind her, gives the impression of movement even though she's clearly standing still. it leaves an odd sense of dissonance, which both frustrates and captivates. I know she's not going anywhere, but i'm equally confident that i couldn't stop this little punkin even if i wanted to.
4. Her face. mischeivous. and her backpack. and the death grip she has on the gooseneck of the scooter. so good. soooo good.
well done Zeus. this goes into P's favourites right now. love it love it love it.
P-ness. |
