184

This image from URBAN-grace brings such a big smile to my face...it is just the sort of playful image that highlights how positively dull the World would be, without the young, creative photographers we have here on Deviant Art.

URBAN-grace had the good fortune, recently, to have her camera break and become unrepairable. I say "good fortune", because since that moment, she has been using her father's camera to such a good effect, that I cannot consider it anything else except fortuitous.

The leap in technology available for her usage, has seen a comparable leap in her creative output...and for that, I am extremely grateful.

Number 184 of 365 (oh, how I wish she could have used a title for this wonderful image) is the epitome of 'cute'...the way the woolen hat is pulled down to leave tantalizing glimpse of face, with a mouth that plays on the hint of a smile.

The delicate, pastel tones on the differing textures of wool, lips and skin are in stark contrast to the dark, somewhat harsh colour of her fingernails, that betray a touch of the mischievous in her nature.

URBAN-grace is one of a group of friends on Deviant Art who have the capabilities to show the World that the future of photography is indeed, in safe hands.

Where once she lagged slightly behind them, URBAN-grace has now caught them up and is pushing hard to be a front-runner.

Well done, young lady.
