What a very pretty portrait of a beautiful girl. If I were the girl, I'd be very happy to have this. I'm so glad that you didn't neat image away her face's texture. And I love that you caught her hands in motion. Really just beautiful. Going in my favs. 9, just-married

Here is the color version of this photo:

//www.pbase.com/jmsetzler/image/35177598

I expected the comments about wanting to see it in color. Graffiti does make your mind think about color. To me, the color in this image was not particularly interesting and the image did make a nice contrasty black and white. Since we were bound by the silly basic editing rules, I could not remove the lens flare in this photo.

Saintnicholas_25: I got the impression you believe this photo was contrived from your comment. The 'try hardey' comment made me think that and the fact that you believe that a teenager would not wear clothes like this... The comment I posted with the color version explains the scene better than I did in my comment here. It's not contrived. The kid was actually painting the wall. I just happend to stumble upon the event while it was taking place, so I asked him if me minded me making some photos. He was delighted at the thought of it, especially since what he was doing is not illegal. You are right in the fact that it doesn't relate to school. I wedged this photo into the challenge with the title. I do, however, believe that it fits within the greater shceme of adolescence and the overall process of education. It's just not a 'slap in the face' interpretation of the challenge topic. It requires that the voters think outside the box and look at the bigger picture. I am fully aware that this method of challenge photo does not score well :)

how this brings back memories :p - maybe the clothing is sort of not cool well no teenager would wear that would they? - a bit try hardey if you ask me
nice use of the border by the way - without the subject in the picture and maybe just a few empty spray cans left behind and some barb wire fence fragments would make this shoot more believable and interesting - how does this shoot look in colour?

Im giving you a [4] but you leave nothing up to the imagination in this shoot which i would of loved to see, the title is the only thing which really relates this to the challenge, i believe this because teenagers like to hang in groups when doing this sort of thing and do it after school not during school

i just don't see how this really relates to school - sorry

Flowers are usually so beautiful that sometimes photos don't reflect all the beauty , but this is not the case with yours.The blue color of the jeans contrasts with the rich and warm color of the flower.
It seems that the light come from the inside , a touch of magic !
I feel good looking at it .
