Hummm. I'm trying to figure out just how you achieved this.
It's creative, inventive, charming and lots of fun! Good job! :-)

I love the square frame within the frame and the circle made by the lollipop within the cutie's cheek. I understand geometry like this, Sharon ! Human geometry ! Have a very good week-end and take good care***

when I was as young as this girl I could afford neither lollipops nor chewing gum because of the lack of money so it's rather easy for me to imagine the girl's thoughts
Great shot !

Great composition that goes so well with my favourite author, Sharon! One of my favourite posts of yours. Brilliant photograph, Albert Camus & Sharon make this a perfect post & day. Thanks for this pearl! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

This is a happy image of the smiling girl. Even though we see her face only in profile, we can see she is happy and sharing that feeling with someone. I really enjoy the overlay of reflections. Quite a fine piece of work.

Almost everybody has such a unforgettable childhood and you title is just perfect to match the photo and to give a very great psychological effect!

The framing and reflections works well. We like that she is turned away, it is still a very intimate capture. Very nicely spotted and captured.

Clever crop Sharon ! Well done. You just caught her smile at its best. Even if she is not facing us, she delivers an unforgettable and true smile.

Absolutly wonderful one!! Natural and happy. A beautiful moment chewable. A shot for 1X... ?
20 Sep 2009 3:26pm
@Polydactyle: Thanks so much! Well...I could try, but no matter what I submit to 1X, they reject me.
Aurore from Pekin, France
In order to make a good photo, you're not obliged to put everything in the frame... I like her attitude of pleasure and joy and to imagine what's making her happy in the direction she's looking at. To watch where we are not used to is often the key of understading, oh yes. Albert Camus is one of my favorite writter. Thanks a lot for this lovely shot and appropriate quote Sharon. So nice and clever.

simply adorable -- and this shot has a flair of something else -- something new! i can't put my finger on it yet... will get back to you! excellent and dynamic framing & reflections -- and the girls ornate blouse is very beautiful indeed!

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
Aw, good quote to pair with the shot. A child is always inquisitive, and only to turn away will s/he find the answer. Nice shot.

dan from Paris, France
This image is very symbolic. To look in a rear-view mirror, it's to turn around on itself.
It's a magnificent image and if I had to keep the only one, it would be this one.
