Thanks for the comment Deb.

My interpretation: without restraint... she is young... not aware of life's fences (running on top of the fence/shadow or outside)... bright light (energy of youth)... entering the frame, appearing to be heading towards her future (depth of field, blurred foreground), but unknown, shadowy, obstacles to overcome. Grow, learn, and age without restraint. Obviously that interpretation grew on me; at the time, it was all about the light, shadows, and energy.

An odd title, as to me the shadows indeed present restraints. You have the exuberance of youth, suspended, against the realities that chip away at our innocence a wee bit at a time. The light, though, offers a warmth - a chance to enjoy just the same. Hence, in an odd way, the restraints may be there, but cannot be allowed to be limiters.

And I probably need to take up drinking... :-) I really do like this.
