From the time I clicked this image I have found myself going back to it again and again.
What is it? What is it? I ask myself. To me there is something magnetic about this image.
Yet it is a very simple portrait of a young girl. A very straightforward photograph. No dazzling effects or intriguing compositions. No props. No nothing. It is head shot just like many others that I have taken. Yet, to me this image is compelling.
I think it is the eyes. But then what is it about the eyes? I do have some really great looking photographs with great looking eyes. What is it about this particular picture that draws me to it again and again.
There is sadness in those eyes. But I think what keeps drawing me to this picture is that teeny-weeny bit of determination/belief that things are going to get better in the future. And that dollop of curiosity about life itself. All three, which you find, tonnes of it, only in the young.
I only hope that she will hold on to it forever....
