Penny, I'm glad you are active in BP once again. I think this is a very eye-catching image. Viewer does not know what exactly going on in the background but the child facing away from the crowd is calling for attention. Very intriguing image to say the least. Love the tone you created. It deserver a good title but leaving everything to viewer's imagination maybe your choice. Keep shooting good images! #1346379Penny J. Irwin January 24, 2011
Thank you Alex. It feels good to be shooting again, I almost forgot what is means to get lost in your art. After reading your comment about the title I rethought my decision to leave this untilted. At the time when I was developing this photo I could not for the life of me come up with a sutible one. However, after going back to when I shot this,the of atmosphere created by all the tourists (this was shot at the Leaning Tower of Pisa)the feeling of chaos at the time was overwhelming. Then seeing her so compelely oblivious as if in her own world, I came up with what is now the title. Thanks again! #9189800Alex T. Mizuno January 26, 2011
Hi Penny,That's a perfect title for this image. It's paradoxical but it certainly tells what this image is about. You really have an eye of a photographer to catch this girl who is totally lost in her world. #9196188
