Artist's Comments

This image was taken with a Canon 20D, at a fair/festival in Rockland, Maine. I snapped a couple frames of this little girl riding the carousel, and I really liked how it looked cropped and converted to B+W, to emphasize her eyes and facial expression and isolate it from her environment.

thats a very good portrait... nicely exposed, properly framed... I only wish the focus was a little tighter

I love it (with the agreeance that the focus should be on her right (my left) eye). She's a beautiful girl, and she's got such a dreaming stare. Finding out after looking at the photo that she was on a carousel makes me think that it must have been a boring ride :P

I think a different crop might have been better. Depending on what the frame looked like when you started, I think a vertical frame might have looked better, especially if you could have gotten an identifiable piece of the caresoul in the piece too. As is, it's a nice portrait, but it's kind of confusing because we don't know where she is. We know she's not in a studio, but there aren't enough visual clues to tell us what she's doing that made her look so bored. Plus, this square cropping really cuts down on the motion/energy the full frame might have had.

But, so you don't think I hate it, the exposure is great. Your depth of field is awesome. You kept the background from getting distracting, which in carnival photos is probably pretty tough. Focus is pretty good too. All in all I like it quite a bit.
