"The moment always dictates in my work. What I feel, I do. This is the most important thing for me. Everybody can look, but they don't necessarily see. I never calculate or consider; I see a situation and I know that it's right, even if I have to go back to get the proper lighting."
~ Andre Kertesz

This is a masterful composition and play of light and texture.
This little girl's blue dress is charming.
Just a thought .... I think I would have let that dress remain the only focus in blue. :-)

Great photo, Mariana. It gives this monochrome feel and then there is the blue dress....draws you right in to the photograph. And as another viewer said, the water and sun combine to provide a seeming spotlight on the girl. Really very good.
