My favourite. It's everything a photograph should be.

First among its qualities is the fact that it is a photograph ΓΆ€“ that it is an object in its own right, rather than just a picture of something. That's hard to do in this digital age because unless you print it, it's not really a physical thing at all. But this photograph manages to breach that limitation.

I'm being obtuse, probably. I mean that most pictures of girls are just that; an image of the girl. It's a way that a viewer remote in space and time can experience the girl. Usually in the DPC context, however, the photographer is primarily showing off their technique. So their real motivation is that the viewer can experience the photographer. "Stunning picture; you're amazing!" Like that.

But in your picture, you aren't a presence at all, which just goes to show what a very good photographer you must be.

So, your photograph isn't so that we can experience you. But I go a step further: your photograph isn't so that we can experience the girl, either. Your photograph is so that we can experience The Photograph. That's an automatic 10, plus I press an Order of the Thumb upon you. Thank you.

So much captured in this scene. Kid is playing around and not paying attention (what an expression!), cab coming towards her, but mom is doing her job and protecting her offspring. Not a lot of typical DPC wow factor, so I don't expect a high placement (I doubt that's what you were after anyway), but it gets a high vote from me.

like the idea to not to fokus on the given topic to obvious but build a scene, a story, and bring context into it, nice pespective anyway
