Hi Viktorija,
I think that you like to present us your artistic research on the light! And you do that so nicely! Let me tell you what I see in this intriguing image.
These happy children seems to play at ghosts and for leaving their traces before to disappear in this mysterious light, they printed their hands on the frame of the door.
One day, a photographer will hear laughters above this door, she will raise the eyes and will see these prints. With the flash of her camera, like a magic wand, she will reveal again the children in a great burst of laughter! And, perhaps, this scenario would repeat itself without end!
The B&W is impeccable for this timeless subject!
Bravo! Annie

You know what Vik...

From your photos... you might be one of those kind of photographer.. or should I said a dreamer... :D Well... in my words at least... To me, I didn't see the hand prints at first, I do however have to search for it, but what captured me here is the environment where the kids is playing, dirty gravel road, broken bucket and old building... but also the laughter of the kids... they are so innocient and genuine... they are playing happily regardless the serounding, I like what I see, I can feel the happiness.

The "lighting" is something extraordinary... it is like you want the kids to be the center of the attention... maybe that's why I can't see the hand prints at first. :D

For me, how you take the photos is what you see in it for you to captured it, but to also create something from inside you to combine with the photos is where pp work come in. :D Every now and then when I look at your photos, it is like reading a short story book, a story book that I have to translate to my own version in my own words... weird explaination isn't it?


Have a nice day my dear friend...

Cheers,
Sweety
