So very sweet and a very nice black and white. I like very much the halos around her head and the mountains. This is a masterpiece.

Beautiful, the use of B&W really unifies the image.

Something stopped me from voting this a 2 or 3 along with the rest of the 'children looking cute' shots. Along with the rest of the sentimental 'children as angels' shots. Perhaps its the simplicity of it, perhaps simply the black and white, and perhaps the sinister, catholic, threatening duplication of those ancient crosses above and behind her. As if to suggest that for all this posing in churchyards stuff, there yet might be a re-rising of an old testament God who would not look favourably on such playing in his serious environments. That, coupled with a sense of humility in this child, make for an intriguing narrative that I couldn't quite ignore.

I'm not one for the posed photograph, but the implications of this appeal to the Calvinist element of my soul, and I can't ignore that, can I?

What a rich mixture of subjects! I love that anyone looking at this can wander between childhood, death, nature, and the church. Beautiful picture.

Great shot. One of my faves of the challenge. I love the balance of moods. A bit depressing with the location but carefree with the young girl almost frolicking through the stones. Well done. Bumping up.

The concept of dancing in the graveyard freaks me out, but I like the shot nonetheless.
