cry by spanner

cry

For the Diane Arbus challenge - I know the focus is not great but these were genuine tears and I had to stop photographing her and comfort as a parent does. Cropped it as close to square as possible Arbus style.
Posted as it reminds me of crying baby by Arbus.
The poor focus adds to the blur theme that I have been doing this week (thats my excuse).
She looks so innocent. I actually want to comfort her :(

@pflaume I would never have taken the shot if she was seriously hurt. In the photo she is in her mothers arms so she was in pretty good hands.

well done for the challenge,

That is so moving,such a sweet sad face, oh give her a hug from me. I like the soft focus and I think it fits here better than the sharp one would have, the b&w was a right choice too

A
Emotive shot... Don't feel guilty, I'm sure that she doesn't hold it against you (don't know if the sentence is right !)

@dclics Thank you - no she does not hold a grudge. Thank you for taking the time to look and comment.
