I understand the attachment to the photo as it is, but really; if you missed her in the frame, then you probably should just try again.Maybe after finding out that is my other daughter, it makes sense to you, if not, at least it makes sense to me, and I am the one I try to please, knowing that you will never please everyone and so you need to know your audience.
You didn't see her? She is at the side, just entering. Exactly where I wanted her.
Just because you don't understand the image, doesn't mean it has no meaning.
I suggest a more open mind, think outside the box, or in this case, the frame.
It sounds like your either trying to convince yourself or just making excuses.You didn't see her? She is at the side, just entering. Exactly where I wanted her.

If you would like, I can explain each element in detail and why it's there and what it conveys or symbolizes. But, like a joke that needs to be explained and is no longer funny, you either get it or don't.
I will explain if you like though.
Concerning what? Pray tell.
Opinions? Art? Photography? The human experience? The meaning of life?

I'm listening.
The picture is centered on a young girl, she is rendered in color as she is alive and the whole world is still a beautiful place to her.
In the background, the sign is cropped by the walking person to show only the word 'now' indicating the passing of time and the girls preoccupation in the present. In her mind, "now" is all there is.
OK. I suppose can give you that, but if that was a theme you wanted to convey before hand, why not have your daughter stand still while the world moved around her - blurred via long exposure for example? If this was your vision prior to shooting, I feel it was poorly executed.The passersby are indicative of the world in motion, whether the young girl notices it or not.
To the left side is her older sister, still present in her world but drawing away as they grow older as all siblings to. The sister is also moving forward, but with more of a goal in mind and a place she wants to get to ahead of her. Her sister is also slightly in front of her as she will always be, being the older of the two. The sister is also in color as she is the secondary focus of the piece and a main influence in the young girls world.
If you see it differently, then for you, that is correct, what I explained is what the piece represents to me.
All that matters is that it touched your life in some way and you are now a different person than you were before stopping by.
God Bless.
I kind of agree, and when I did a print of it on the iGen @ 14.33" x 26" (at work) on pearlescent tag I did crop that part, however, the 'lady' is no lady, she is my other daughter.I have not done this sort of thing yet but have to do it one day as I like it.
I to think if you could have cloned out the lady on the left it would have made a nicer shot.
But overall its is a nice shot and has got me thinking of doing the same soon.
EDIT: I just looked at the print, and I was wrong, it was printed just as it is here. I couldn't crop my baby!
Not real sure if I have done this quote thing right so please forgive me if I have got it wrong.
But in answer to you saying that the lady is your other daughter.
Then I fully understand that cropping her out would be so wrong and I'm with ya there.
So I think you have done the right thing on this shot.
