Description
A lot of umm'ing and ahh'ing between the colour version and this. I still like them both, the colour one might end up in scraps later...So this is Elli again, looking a bit more babyish here yes?
I must say I was quite shocked by some notes and comments to the earlier pictures about how children shouldn't be seen naked because it might encourage pedophiles etc. I can't quite comprehend how someone even entertained such thoughts looking at those pictures that were in no shape or form pornographic. I am not responsible for anyone's sick mind. To me, children are innocent and pure and there's nothing seedy about babies being naked whatsoever. Child pornography is a whole other issue and I felt quite pissed off about what was implied of my pictures.
And when it comes to these particular kids, yeah they are pretty innocent, their mum doesn't even allow TV in the house.

This is so precious, that it left me kind of incoherent for a moment. All I could think or say was "Awwwwwwwww." She looks so innocent and sweet, and I like that her hair isn't combed immaculately into little pigtails or something.

Hi I love this picture!
I was wondering however if I may use it as a stock photo.
I wish to do a photomanipulation of growing up and this picture has the perfect expression.
If not, then no worries, since it is your picture.
Thanks

It's a beautiful shot, I love the fact it's in B&W. And she looks like a cute girl!
And I have to say that I don't know how the hell sick people can think any thing sexual about kids, and especialy from art like this. It's just sick.
