as I've been saying:
I really wonder if I'm not getting the theme description when I see all these photos of people and animals looking up at the camera. I interpret the theme as specifically saying the photographer is supposed to point the camera UP. These children are not above you. Maybe I'm reading it all wrong....
Love that girl with the painted hand. Great, youthful expressions.

Zenzi said 610 days ago:

I don't know, seems like you can interpret it in both ways ??

Ana said 610 days ago:

Well, of course it can be interpreted any way you like. But that seems to be the downfall of a lot of the weekly shots THEME descriptions. They tend to be vague, and that leads to a lot of different interpretations (which a lot of folks LOVE, but makes me crazy!)

Zenzi said 610 days ago:

Actually, maybe the "look up" is what the photographer tells the people he is shooting. So he is looking down on them while they look up :)

Ana said 610 days ago:

Well, the theme states:
"We spend almost all of our time looking directly in front of ourselves. What might we be missing going on above us?"

I don't know!!

Ok, you must be right :)

Is this you Zenzi? Great image all around! Love the tight crop, colours, expressions.

Had a strong suspicion. Wonderful image as usual.

Hello Brant !
Yes, it's me... But looks like it's a little bit out of the topic :)
