Description

I took this two years ago on Halloween. I sent Maddie out in this field but made her take the witch hat off first.(she'd worn it all day at school) She was so mad all she could do is stand there and glare at me LOL!

Peggy J. Maguire September 09, 2007

Beautiful scene,great job Cyn... #4768390

Lynn Haack September 09, 2007

A specific mood was ingeniously created here. I like the distance between photographer and subject and the moody lighting. The desolate feeling created by the open field surrounding her adds intense emotion. And her posture says it all. This image envokes intricate feelings of isolation, frustraion, defiance and above all...of being misunderstood. Perfect teenage angst! Brings back memories....well captured, Cyn! Lynn #4768528

Tarun Bose September 09, 2007
