I like the way monica works very well with shadows in a lot of her pictures. After all I chose a street photograph. I love the colours (or more the absence of subtility of it) in this picture. Besides I like the composition.
Paul: A couple of your Delamere Forest shots almost appeared here (looking up at the trees is great, but I think the sunlight wash shot is my favorite).... but this one just can't be overlooked. I love the joy in the first pose contrasted with the guilt in the third. Well done!
For emotional reasons... I tried this one years ago pre-digital and blew it. I was sooooo disappointed when I got the film processed. Ain't digital great!?
