very young


The End

When I was One,

I had just begun.

When I was Two,

I was nearly new.

When I was Three,

I was hardly Me.

When I was Four,

I was not much more.

When I was Five,

I was just alive.

But now I am Six, I’m as clever as clever.

So I think I’ll be six now for ever and ever.

A.A. Milne

  1. What a great picture, they look like they have had a great time, all dirty and smudged from playing in the mud… Excellent capture. The poem made me think of a song, however not so delightful as the poem… more along the opposite… a song called Moribund, oh well…

  2. That is a very strange effect. It makes soemthing out of a simple shot.

  3. Great processing.;)

  4. very interesting …the processing with the layer works well.

  19. Such an interesting effect! Made me study this one for a long time, trying to figure out what was there before the layer.

  20. They look like great buddies….they look like a handful:-)

  23. Like the composition and processing; very sweet image. Reminds me of being a kid.

  24. wow — amazingly expressive — and very complexly so!! simply excellent sentiment captured here — the under-workings of a marvelous photo, the prose and the underlay. brilliant, Elaine, brilliant!!

  25. Great portrait, excellent processing!

  26. Ok….when I see this photo I’m thinking: What are they upto… The look like they have a plan ready for some serious joking around.

  27. Amazing! You reinvent the vintage look! The result is bizarre but pleasant to view.
