What a wonderfully revealing moment, cleo. It is exactly that - woman holding the future before her.
And the quote - such perfect words for a caption. I've read a bit of and about Alice Walker - but I've never read this quote. Such beautifully poetic words.
Most endearing about this photo, for me, is the way you have captured the silhouette/
image of a mother holding a child whose face is warmly lit from the front - as if projecting herself into the future.
The little hand in front of her mouth and the upturned eyes says so much.
Your image speaks from your heart - it is a moment that speaks of why there will always be an eternity.
A winning image!

Thank you so much. You see what I was trying to show. I have to admit that I'm not completely satisfied. Maybe I tryed to archive to much with once. I wanted mom as a silhouette and light only on the kids face according to the text but I also wanted the softness. I think I wanted a photo what has the features of a painting without using Mixed Media. Thats damaged the technical quality of the image. I can see it. The reviews also show that for the most part I didn't got through to the emotions of the reviewer. Only the very sensitive natures as you got the message.
I have to work on it.
Never less it is one of my personal favorite images. The two were complete strangers to me when I saw them watching the sun rising. We only exchanged a few words before they departed with their travel group.
Thanks so much for seeing all what I was feeling.

Excellent title and fragment you captured. Very expressive faces and the sun beams on the child's face. It would be perfect photo is it could be little lighter, it's too dark and a little bit not n focus. Nevertheless, it's a good contest entry and good luck to you.

Thank you so very much for your kind review. Upp's I darkened the photo in purpose. I wanted the mother just as semi silhouette. The softness [a little bit not in focus] is also intentional. Looks as if my intentions didn't work.

I like this photo for the story it captures. Your title says it all. The only thing I would say is it need to be a little more in focus. Besides that good job.

Thank you so much for your friendly review. The softness of the image was intentional. I even adjusted the light and darkened the image for more of it. It looks as if my intentions didn't work out right.

Well just remember it's only an opinion.

Thanks. I know it. But you are right. I'm not completely satisfied with the appearance also.
