Once again, I ask you to consider the effect of your graphic technique here. This picture is fantasy because it represents a dual world -- black and white vs. color. Did you mean to tell the story of a child selling strawberries? If so, the technique backfires. You are stressing the strawberries, in a fantastical way, at the expense of the real child. Please step back and think hard about your intentions before applying this technique, Xin. You are using it over and over, like a new toy, and in my view, it damages the credibility of your images IF your intention is to interpret the real world. Never let form drive content if reality is the goal.
