This photol eaves you wondering what he/she is thinking. I like it.

Very harmonic in colours and tones. Lucky she smiled, Otherwise, it could be a very tragic portrait.

Gosh, that image is very evocative of all sorts of things, in particular children behind bars in less pleasant circumstances.

@robz @cm_saratoga @phil_howcroft @yaorenliu @golftragic thank you for your comments. This beautiful child was just playing in the street, hiding among mobile iron barriers. No drama underneath, although recently there is a big discussion regarding the children of women imprisoned for crimes who are kept with their mothers.. This could be a good poster for the campaign

[Peter Day]

very interesting shot

[Domenico Dodaro]

Lovely, Caterina!

[Helen Jane]

I agree with you that this looks like it could be a campaign poster. I am pleased that for this adorable looking girl at least, the circumstances are not unhappy.

[Marnie]

@caterina I agree, I actually found the photo quite disturbing until I looked more closely.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I didn't see enough sadness or fear in her face to think that it was something more serious than play, but it did bring to mind some very disturbing stories which have surfaced here recently on confined children and the horrible people who imprisoned them.

@olivetreeann Yes Ann, she was just playing with her grandpa. But the problem of imprisoned children is serious and has been debated for years in this country, without definitive solution. There are a few prisons where the children of imprisoned mothers have a garden, schools, tutors and are taken out regularly, but others are less well organized.
