Is that Eeyore too? The little toy makes the image come to life - and the hat. I wonder if the limited DOF limits too the impact. Hard for me to know without seeing the same shot with a larger DOF. As it is, I can barely make out the boat and might not have done so without your apt title.

this is lovely - looks like a hallmark card with some poem written inside. love the black and white tones. and eeyore is hanging out and waiting with her. a classic childhood moment captured in one frame.

B&W was a perfect choice for this shot.

subtleties are so important. my favorite thing about this photo is how the bar seems to be bending in her hat. This creates a real connection between girl and bars that I can feel. It shows that she is getting too close to them, pressing futilely against them. your composition gives us a teasing view of the world she's trying to get at. Eeyore is resigned to misery, as is his way. But he waits faithfully.

I wouldn't change a thing.

I think this is a delightful picture which is perfectly suited to Black and White. You have a good range of tones and the chevrons on the dress help break up the strong lines generated by the railings.

I can see why you like it so much.

Edit to add, the cuddly Eeyore helps provide a gentle couterpoint to the strength and boldness of the railings, providing an anchor for the girls youth and innocence. This helps the dynamic tension of the picture.

Or at least that's my view. :- )

Dang near made me cry and I'm not sure why. I think it's Eeyore, or however you spell it. Winnie the Pooh and his friends do that to me. From the pose she looks young but very strong and self-assured. The presence of Eeyore - by her side, but not clutched, emphasizes this. Not sure if that makes sense or not, but that's what I see.

First off let me just say that Eeyore ROCKS! And he also seems to be the right character for this image. I get the feeling that the little girl is kind of longing for something. Since we can't see her face for any expression, the pose, the doll and the title steers it along. I like the patterns of her outfitand hat and the lines of the fence. The b&w feels very good, but I would also be interested inseeing a color version. This is a very nice capture. Good eye.

This is a wonderful "moment in time" candid capture, which touches my heart.....

This is such a good shot (candid??), composition is very good, and I love B&W tones here. Your portfolio is great.
