Amazing moment of time you have captured here, Chris! This child is expressing wonder as well as perhaps worry as she gazes into your camera. A truly honest portrait so exquisitely captured!

Terrific image. The message remains within the eyes, the mouth an the hands. The soul of the image is in there. Her expression makes me forget she is a child... She seems to say so much with her eyes... An image to remember.
How could I have missed this portrait, Chris? It is not just those huge eyes -- it is the fact that this child is not beautiful in the classical sense, yet it is one of most beautiful portraits I have ever seen. You illuminate her from the inside out -- the image has a presence about it that makes us feel as if we know her and she knows us. It is very intimate, not a inch of space has gone to waste, the orange sweater and flesh tones add enormous warmth. And then there is the moment you caught -- the expression on the face, the way she bears the weight of the world in her hands. I can't get this image out of my mind and probably never will. Congratulations, Chris.
wow - what a striking portrait. there is such depth of emotion in those eyes, and a depth of experience and knowledge that seems far beyond her young years. incredible.
