@JosBurke: Eventhough I'm Ellen's father I understand exactly what you mean by capture what "we" strive to.

I hope you feel better soon and thanks very much for your comment.

Hi,
Unfortunately I cannot agree with the comments others have posted here.
I agree that it is a strong portrait.
However, if you showed me this image as a stand alone shot then my first reaction would be concern for the welfare of the child. The dark brooding atmosphere together with the unwashed face and seemingly naked upper half points to a possible social problem with the child, the expression and the eyes also indicate this together with the placement of the face off centre.
Knowing that this is your child awaiting bath-time re-assures me somewhat.
I am sure that there will be some disagreement with me.
Thanks for posting
John.

@jonjonho: I agree with you as well. Yes, it's a strong portrait and yes she looks like a child with problems and wearing no clothes, but isn't that extra that just makes the image?

It is indeed, but no-one else voiced their opinion on this aspect of the image.
Best wishes

Is this digital or analog picture? 350D or FP4Hassi?

I think you made the mistake at alt.

Agree with Dietmar, image is given on site he indicates as taken with D350.
If so should it be here?
Regards
John

I think that I made a mistake when I uploaded it on altphotos. If you don't believe me I can naturally take a photo of me holding the negative.

And if I had taken this with a digital camera why would I post it here?
