______________________________________

My intention was to show that gluttony is taught to us very young. We are told to eat when we're not hungry, we are told to eat it all, we are constantly asked if we would like more, we are rewarded with food, and we are taken to the ice cream store for a fun treat.

This girl seems daunted by the ice cream and doesn't appear to even want it, yet she was part of a large group of camp children who were all eating huge ice cream concoctions.

So the title was meant to imply that we act as "pushers" when we introduce kids to food and an over-indulging life style. Try the ice cream, try gluttony, you'll like it. And the grain was meant to add a touch of darkness, and negative energy to the situation.

I like the grain and I love the expression on her face, she looks like she's had enough ice cream. I dunno some kids just don't get the gluttony experience.

Hmmm. I can't decide if I like the grainy effect, or would just like it better on something different? It makes the ice cream really hard to see.

I like the grain, adds a bit of voyeristic feeling, as if this is the view of her inner devil vs. angel "guiding" her.

The grainy feel is a nice touch, not so sure about her expression, maybe a little more avaricious?
