Starting young

Never have I seen such concentration and staying power in a little girl. She's the daughter of one of the makeup artists - and, whilst her mother was working on the young stars of Grease, her little girl worked on this dummy's head for about an hour. Also for my get-pushed challenge - Portrait of a stranger.

That is so lovely Joy. You have captured a wonderful candid. Love everything about it - the light, the composition and the concentration on that little sweetie's face. Fav!

@so_lo_webb One more for the challenge.

[Cazla]

What a great candid, I like the style of processing too.

[KWind]

She definitely looks involved...good for her! Lovely portrait and processing.

[Rachel Withey]

Lovely shot - an hour, wow, that's some incredible concentration

[Richard Sayer]

This is lovely Jocasta - I find the treatment you have given it very appropriate for the subject: a full colour treatment would have distracted us away from the star of the little cameo.

This is just wonderful, I could not imagine my girls sitting still for more than 5 minutes so this is amazing. Wonderful capture, beautiful tones and processing and of course, such a cute little girl!

[Nancy Ivison]

Beautiful shot, so sweet I love her concentration...

[michael]

Perfect candid, just look love the focus she has on her work

[Marloes]

Wow, what a great dedication you've captured. Lovely!

[Krista Marson]

wonderful insight into the little girls tenacity.

[Taffy]

Fabulous shot and wonderful processing. She is really intensely concentrating and you captured it so well.

[Avantika]

Such a lovely capture!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Sounds as tho she comes by her interest honestly. Her mom must be very proud. Amazing that she would show such concentration at such a young age.

Thank you ever so much for your time in viewing my macro project and then giving me a follow. Really appreciate that.

[Sean O'Neill]

Wonderful Jocasta, did you give her a print, I'm sure she'd love it. A fav.

[Penny Price]

Absolutely fabulous, wonderful portrait.

[Niki]

Beautiful. With concentration like that at her age then she is going to be brilliant when she is older.

[Sue Rose]

Oh, this is lovely! Such a look of concentration on her little face. Gorgeous capture. Fav

[Gwenllian]

Just love this. How sensitive and unobtrusive you are.

[Kate Carling]

Your portrait of this sweet girl portrays a feeling of relaxation ...in her and in you, the photographer.

[Debi 🐩]

What a great image, shows the concentration

[☠northy]

this is truly a beautiful image... love the look of concentration you caught, and your processing... fav!
