Beauty of the soul reflected in the innocence of a child.

I couln't help noticing the particulars of the clothing I am so familiar with here in Romania! Great balance with the burned white t-shirt and the overall dark surroundings. Well exposed, there is still detail on the black areas and the vignetting concentrates the attention on the kiddo. Good job !

Flawless exposure and haunting expression on the child's face. I can't get this image out of my mind. Masterfully done!

love the patterns and contrasts in the clothing; and the expression of travel weariness on the child.

What a beautiful child. I want to pick her up and dance with her. One vote here!
