Not surprised Paul it had 'Winner' written all over it as soon as I saw it!!

You sneak into DPC every now and then and grab a ribbon, well done.

You've been POLM'ed.

A startlingly beautiful image. Evocative. New and timeless at the same time. My highest score.

Look at that face, she knows everything not knowing what she knows. Children can look so wise. Perfect capture.

Lovely, evocative. One of my 10s.

Comment by posthumous:
reminds me of Diane Arbus. The way her legs fade off, probably due to vignetting and perhaps lens distortion, make her head and hands seem big (and also because they're brightly lit in a dark scene), and I think that adds to the Arbus effect, at least in my head. She has none of the pain (anomie?) of an Arbus character, though. She seems perfectly happy to be standing where she is. Her expression is one of temporary resolve. She will soon be ready for the next thing. Still, she utterly succeeds as the main character of a photograph, unconsciously heroic, ready to get on her donkey and conquer the world.
