Description
It was hard not to fall in love with her. I found her in Kensington Market in Toronto and watched her chalking the side of the building while her family sold their wares in the marketplace. I'd been focused on her for about 15 minutes when she finally turned. She came over to see the picture when I was done and decided she looked pretty enough for me to keep it.I love children.

... I just adore this... I can really get it because it's more than a mere effect or digital wizardry tossed onto a photo... this tells a story like a piece of photojournalism, one with meaning and consequence and a wondering of what happened after the shot was taken...

Thank you so much, I had the same feeling. I was sort of taken aback when I took it off the camera and looked at it again. It didn't seem possible that it happened in Toronto it was out of place almost. She just entranced me though.

... there's just something to the sight of a little girl marking over stuff in an alley posted by a bunch of "writers" that just appeals to me, and the long stack of cardboard boxes added so much chaos to an otherwise sweet photo of a playful innocence...
... nice capture, this is one you should be very proud of... a testiment to carrying around your camera wherever you go...

Just... wow.
This is an incredible photo - one of your best to be sure. The expression of the girl and the perspective of the shot are all exceptional. I cannot find much more to say than this... there is little to critique... just a really really beautiful job.

hey, i can see that you've been studying composition! great capture of street life. her expression is almost, "i've been caught in the act! look cool. look cool..." anyway, back to the composition. i like the diagonal line of boxes you've put in there, and the girl's face being close to the thirds. i'd crop it a bit from the top because there's some slack space up there, but this is a great step forward for you.

I knew you were going to nail me for the space at the top but nooooo I left it anyways 
After spending a week seeing in grids and lines it was nice to have a few of the assignments come to fruition, I was quite happy with the result
What's next Master Jedi?
