exactly the expression of children when they are divided between the desire to satisfy their curiosity and the shyness which provokes the stranger. Even the hands say it! superbe :o)

Wonderful shot. You really captured the subject. Did you try cropping the knee on the right? I can't decide if loosing it would have isolated the little girl too much.

@DonLon: many thanks DL. I usually always present the full frame scanned from my negs. There were a few images from this girl and a little boy also. Using a rangefinder camera and I wear glasses most times, sometimes I forget about what else comes into the frame.

Such an amazing portrait Matt! The look on her face, it's heartbreaking somehow.

@bluechameleon: Yes I know what you see here Bc. She was a little girl living in such a huge world. Your natural instincts reach out to her. But her magic shoes were where it was at here. I appreciate your wonderfully kind comments as always. Thank you !
