    That ticks so many boxes Sergio,

    Also an example of when certain photographic rules can be bent, while sticking to others.

    Well done, Dave

    +1 to Dave's comments. Well spotted and well taken. You nailed Cartier-Bresson's "decisive moment" with the positioning of the girl walking through the opening. The image is very effective and I really like what you have done.

    In addition to the other comments, this image looks so three-dimensional!

    I just realized -- my mouth fell opened when I saw this image! Excellent composition and quick thinking. Better keep my trap shut before something undesirable get in to seek shelter or commit suicide.

    Dave, it ticks the boxes for me also.

    I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I'm not sure where I bent the rules.

    Thank you for commenting.

    Manfred,

    I was fortunate to have stopped and turned in that direction, and there she was, walking across. I had already set my aperture, ISO, and focus when we had come in, so I quickly aimed and released the shutter.

    Thank you for the comment and compliment.

    Mike,

    I do like the way the walls are set up. They are nice to walk through and observe the art, and I like the how they created a layered effect in the image.

    Thank you for commenting.

    I owe a lot of the atmosphere to the gallery, and I will certainly be going there again.

    Thank you for your comment.

    Greg, I also like that as a title. I can imagine her growing up and becoming one.

    Izzie, thank you. Your comments are welcome, no need to do either.
