I enjoyed playing around setting this shot up..... the withered flowers, the almost perverse contradictions in the childlike dress and pose with the obviously adult body. A few people have commented on my seeming fascination with these character shots from the back.....it's funny, I never realized I was doing that so much until ya'll wrote me!

Disturbing and lovely composition. Makes me think of a speakeasy in the twenties... what was your inspiration here?

Really like your explanation. This really catches a lot of emotions

NO YOU DON'T. KEEP THE EYES OF THE CHILD WITHIN YOU, BUT TURN AROUND AND SHARE THE WORLD WITH US. WHEN THE CHOICE IS YOURS, YOU MAKE IT. WHEN NEEDED TAKE ACTION, BUT DON'T REACT SADDLY TO GROWING UP. IT IS NOT YOUR CHOICE. EMBRACE LIFE, AND LOVE LIFE BY LOVING ALL AROUND YOU. YOUR EYES WILL KEEP THE LIGHT OF THE CHILD WITHIN YOU.

sometimes more expression is seen from the back view, the shoulders in sorrows pose...so although not many do so well what you are doing, i see you adding small things into the shots to also compose a story for us... lovely work Toni...
