Paul, Asher; thanks for looking in. You both are right re: the loss of defintion of the facial details and the high key areas.
This was shot yesterday. Mariam wanted me to sit with her on the lawn and watch her blowing bubbles.
As I watched her, Mariam was not there. Just any kid. And me as a kid playing in the mud.
I felt then, and feel now, that more would be not in keeping with my feelings of that moment.
I am usually wrong though!
Best regrads.
