A remarkably complex portrait, Tami. If we already have a context gained from of all of the other photos in this gallery, this image is all about reflection. The ordeal is over, yet she allows you just one more image to show you that she is still none too happy about the experience. She seems a bit older and wiser here as well. The hand to chin expresses either boredom, or sadness. Maybe both. If we look at just this image all by itself, without the context of all the other photos of her that we have already seen, It is becomes very unusual portrait of a child, defying all the conventional stereotypes. The look in her eyes is somewhat sorrowful, the mouth drawn tightly, and the hand cradling a head about to takes the measure of this tired young woman's soul. She does want to have this image made, yet at the same time, she gives you one of considerable depth and meaning. What we may get out of it depends fully upon the context we bring to it A remarkable photo to end a truly unusual gallery, Tami.
