a twisted perspective

Comment by pineapple:
It's a bit of an adult angle on the world. Snap down. The view really is the child's view and hard as it might have been the view from the lens might have been a bit more of that child's view up the road to the unknown future of no health insurance, poor education, Democrats that act like Republicans and Republicans that act like Democrats. In other words, a knee bend for the shot might have brought the personal side of the child more into the composition. Cynical as usual. Happy New Year.

Looks like our little cross-legged girl. She is so cute. Nice angle and b&w.

Great use of negative space, I like the b&w for this too.

For others looking in -- I think this is a strong picture, technically. It is a well-balanced composition and "moves" throughout the frame well. It appears to be a touch dark on my monitor (which is set too bright, by most standards), and that may have hurt with some of the darker monitored votes. Very interesting shot.

and for Don (I went scouring the Internet for a poem for this, 'cause I knew there had to be one, and I am a terrible poet):

The Waking World

Out of time̢۪s windows
He gazed—into the heavens,
Into planets, unnamed galaxies
—Light-years away,
With sealed vistas
That opened wide
For the macabre-naked eye—to see.
And unto him appeared—
Wild streams of midnight tears
Glittering like unprotected fire:
And so spellbound was he,
With all he had seen,
He crossed into the dream world,
The lost world of the woken:
And was never again seen.

Very nice. I wish there were note to the left of the photo, but it is still a spectacular shot!
