bubbly-stare: falling sleepily out of focus

Comment by FireBird:
The eye bubbles didn't stand a chance. We have the dribble in immaculate focus! Plus you went to an extreme to make this difference by shooting F1.4. I like the image but the bubbles, especially from the mouth don't mean the same thing for me, as for you. ;)
I assume that you shot a version with the eyes in perfect focus and the reflections of bubbles there suffered. If not, you missed the shot you were looking for. It sure looks like she is in an altered state. One might even say meditating. :) Cute baby.

Either you uploaded the wrong picture or you've got a much better imagination than I do. I took pictures of elephants and gazelles last Thursday and they didn't look anything like this. I don't see anything topless other than cropped lamp and twigs arrangement. It has good lighting and focus, but not much else of interest to me.

I don't quite understand how this portrays the idea of "topless"

Needs one to see this one at a distance and some amount of abstract imagination. Neat image none the less.

Creative vision and actually not that bad of a technique, however I feel with elephants being endangered as they are now....its just too soon to laugh.
