Head in the clouds

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.

Comment by Bear_Music:
Such a haunting, even foreboding, variation on the them of a girl and her pony. Her expression is deliciously enigmatic. I award the Golden Bear Paw to this image.

A secret garden of delights. Well processed with classic look and temperament.. I see (feel) the sparkle in her eyes!

Comment by Neat:
My top pick, processing is perfect, dark moody and ominous, a girl left by herself with a pony without a care in the world!
