This is the first critique I have written on TE in some time. And I am sorry it is on a photo posted so long ago. But the fact that this has been viewed 700+ times and has so few comments is exactly why I hardly ever comment or post photos here. This photo is, frankly and sincerely, a masterpiece moment. Not necessarily in perfect post-processed presentation... (I did a rather unimportant ws to demo some ideas on that bit)

I mean what is important here is in the subject and the moment. Look at the combination of beauty and emotion and underlying message. The girl on the left, wistful and seemingly lost in thought. She's stunningly beautiful in a true painting sort of way. She's disengaged from you. The center girl, with her pearls and blue dress could be on her way to a nice picnic. You can tell from her eyes her day will not be so easy and we will not be a part of what her day will be. Her eyes - she's not letting you in, full stop. The girl with the jug on the right, she's hazier, yet more representative of what's outside the frame. A clue to the world they live in. The world we don't want to think about when we look at those beautiful faces, but who can't be ignored.

Really, really well done. A favorite.
