All the best things about the magic of photographs are present in this one.
Was it Gary Winogrand who said he took photographs to find out how things looked photographed?
He had a very good point about the magical difference between a photograph and reality. It's all on show here. Thank you.
Despite the dark upper section this appears to me to be high key. The young girl in her light-colored outfit examines her shadow, or maybe the sparkling ground about her, lost in the moment. The sense of serenity is apparent. I like how the pebbled ground catches the sunlight, bringing a sense of enchantment to the image. By any chance is this taken on the High Line in Manhattan? There's a section of shallow running water along the way .
My first impression, having run track in school, is that of a sprinter getting into her blocks at the start of a race.
