Thanks, K, I have no problem with you working on this image. But you know how hot it is here, how the sun is burning you all day....so her hiding in the shadow is part of the emotional truth of the image...for me...she needs to be hiding because that in fact is what she is doing.
Trav, this is an excellent picture, I remember it & I like it. You may disagree with me, but I think a slight processing can make it even stronger - I allowed myself to play a bit with, see Pending
