Stepping into someone else's shoes!

Ever noticed? Often, portraits singularly remain the photographer's persepctive and intepretation of his/her subjects. This over-the-shoulder peep shot tries to imbibe what the subject is experiencing instead. The temptation, the fear, the joy and mystery of her about to step into the pond of waterlillies suddenly becomes the spectator's too.
Very evocative and particularly poetic.

Accademically what is more interesting is its strange composition. Without tilting the camera the subject is placed diagonally in a rather straight frame ( note the subject in relation to the horizontal lines of the steps ). The bend torso does the trick!
Come to think of it, the three dimentional space intepreted in a two dimentional space can be pretty - complex.

Its a case of appreciating someone else's point of view - quite a virtue isn't it?
