Make a Wish

This is a truly stunning image with a very apt title. The idea of making wishes and hoping they will come true is an aspect of childhood that everyone goes through. It is a harsh reality to learn that wishes hardly ever become reality but this image captures the naivety and hopefulness of youth in a beautiful way. The back-light from the sun adds to this idea of youth, with it appearing to be new and rising.

This image is also technically brilliant with the right amount of shutter speed to catch the details of the girl and sun while adding a slightly blurred look to the seed pods, showing their movement. A truly great and inspiring piece of art. Keep up the good work!
