Description There was something utterly sad in this scene. She was sitting alone in this merry go around. And had a ride alone. It was fair time, lots of children around, and she was alone...
I am always aware how lucky I was growing up with my siblings, but when I saw this, that feeling was even stronger, even more because this photo is taken on my sisters 35th birthday.

Avala-sept-30-2012.

Very emotive shot, Helen

But what if to try make it square with the girl in the center? Maybe it may do the photograph even stronger...

Maybe I will try that, although center weighted portraits tend to look strange. Thanks Ricci

Great shot - perhaps she wanted to be alone, to think some for herself. Sometimes you do that after all Even as a kid

I would like to think that she was content, but the whole scene looked sad.
Thanks for the comment, dear
