For the first time this month Kat at Kat's Eye View is hosting a Heart Connection link up. This is where we can post our most heart grabbing photographs of the month. You know what it's like, you take a shot and maybe you dozens, hands up here I am totally guilty of over shooting, oh well, the beauty of digital cameras. You look at the shots and there amongst the dozens is one that just grabs you, it says something to your heart it connects with you. Well that is what the link up is all about, finding the shot you took in the last month that grabs you the most. So I am contributing this one. I took this on the beach front in a little town in New Zealand, The girl is a total stranger to me. She was wandering along totally absorbed in her own little piece of the world, oblivious to any of us. Her chubby little arms, her pretty floaty dress and those gorgeous little bare feet, oh my I love it, I have edited this shot and posted it another time I think, but this is the one for my Heart Connection. I love shots of people walking away, I'm not distracted by their face then. I can imagine what they are feeling, what they look like, I get a little bit of creative license with this. So here my heart connection for January 2012. Come along on the journey with us at Kat's, such fun.
What a beautiful photo! I love those little bare feet.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Kim, I know I have seen it before and loved it then too. have fun with your new adventure.
ReplyDeleteOh, such a wonderful image! It really grabbed me too, upon first look. I wondered if this was a relation to you, since it had such a wonderful feel, so it's interesting you did not know her at all. I can see why this is your heart connection for this month. Thanks so much for linking it in!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image. I love the movement and colours of her dress and how she looks lost in her own imaginary world.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful capture and I imagine her eating a lovely drippy ice cream cone!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful capture of this girl. I love how you love to shoot people walking away, it really adds to the mystery, I really love your photo and processing too! a great photo heart connection!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! There's such a loving feeling to your photo! I imagine whoever she belongs to would love this photo!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be that little girl...not really to be a child again, but to feel free to wear a dress like that, and walk barefoot down the path. That's the person I see myself as in my dreams!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful, whimsical feel to this.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this image. From it, I would feel that you know and love this little girl...and am surprised the love that comes thru it-as she in unknown to you.
ReplyDeleteI too chose a "walking away" shot. I think we like those for the same reasons.
adorable touching story!!!
