Title- "The Sad Girl"
taken in very quick clicks-this sad little girl- each expression depicts a fast glimpse just before the final closed eyes resignition of the ultimate "no" you can't do that- from the parents-
crit and comments are welcome

Hi Charlotte,

Intersting series; I like it.

I have but one comment:
For me, it would have been even more effective if instead of the camera looking down at the child, it had been brought down to her level.

You look as though you are at her eye level, Charlotte.

I think you should take #3 image out, then you will have a triptych with the eye placement different in all three. Have you tried processing these images in B&W?

Lovely series Charlotte.

I agree - should be even better in B&W.

Re #3 - I would leave it, as it is clearly part of the story. Actually, I found it interesting to see how the mood of the series changes if #1 and #3 are swapped around.

yes I have done one of these in bandw and it looks great- I didnt want a tri but thought instead how interesting it was all the different levels of expression that was caught in just seconds- albeit " a study for me" I did think of the tri though-


Johan
thank you - yes you have it right what I was trying to do- I sent 3 I did in bandw for you and Paul to see-
