expression is great.
January 1, 2020 at 7:57 AM #1405139Thank you @ADAM, but that's not the subject of the picture. It is the story of a girl who drenched with rain and snow in the cold dies on New Year's Eve.
January 9, 2020 at 12:02 AM #1417520A little point to think about:
Do you really think that anyone is able to light up am matchstick in this heavy rain? With that in mind the scene doesn't look very realistic.January 9, 2020 at 3:49 AM #1417711I've lit plenty of matches in pouring down rain and with wind. Both regular and stick matches, for camping and smoking.
I like the concept of the image , but have to agree with LP, (except the being shoeless). We don't know how or why she's there and in the predicament she's in. So, while having shoes, her pose could convey being cold by being more closed within the body.
Composition is paramount for a pic.

The Spiral gridJanuary 9, 2020 at 8:59 PM #1418776Es una historia muy triste y hermosa, handersen.s es para los ingleses lo que Gustavo Adolfo Backer para los españoles pero mas enfocado a los problemas sociales como la pobreza y la miseria de los olvidados de la sociedad.es una de las mejores historias que ilustra la verdad de una sociedad cruel el final de la historia nos angustia hasta un climax que todos sabemos el aparecimiento de la abuela es la culminacion de lo que se espera la muerte de la pequeña niña sin nombre.
"Alabado sea el 3d"January 9, 2020 at 9:04 PM #1418782@littlepleasures Nope. Haven't read it. I wasn't making any connection at all. LOL
January 9, 2020 at 9:23 PM #1418801Le comento que realizando un análisis de su composición, muy sincera y resumida la niña de Handersen.s esta descalza, y otro importante detalle es una niña, la persona de su ilustración es casi una joven de sinuosos y exquisitos pechos.en la época victoriana que es el marco histórico de la obra las jóvenes así tenían que recurrir al desarrollo de actividades poco convencionales. para ganarse la vida pero sobrevivían. lo cual es un gran logro para las jóvenes de esa época con pocos o ningun recurso. eso es mejor que morir de frió como la pequeña niña del cuento que es la parte desafortunada que nos quiere ilustrar en su obra excelente imagen magnifica iluminación pero esta fuera de marco.
January 9, 2020 at 9:27 PM #1418811I read the full story after seeing the posts.
I envisioned her as a child that didnt want to get beaten by her dad for coming home without selling anything. Not as a playboy fold-out. However artistic interpretation is in the eye of the artist. Its horrendously sad story and probably happens often in different forms.
January 9, 2020 at 10:37 PM #1418901I'm sorta confused about people not knowing the story...
As for the image, it's not at all bad, but I do agree about it being too warm, and that a reposition of the camera would probably benefit the scene overall.
January 9, 2020 at 10:56 PM #1418919I’ve lit plenty of matches in pouring down rain and with wind.
Me too but only blocking wind and/or rain with my hands and not holding it up in the air. IMHO it looks strange.
January 10, 2020 at 1:21 AM #1419041If its raining and windy I grab a lighter. I use to have a "windproof" lighters when I smoked and a zippo. when I went camping I took wax covered matches, lighter and a flint. Seem to remember maybe a few cotton balls for tinder. Its been awhile.
I've only heard "Little match girl" and that it had something to do with her trying to keep warm. Never knew she died.
I wasn't much of a reader and still don't read much unless its a subject I'm interested in. Even then Id rather watch a video on it.
January 15, 2020 at 2:54 PM #1427131Not sure why but felt like looking this up.
January 19, 2020 at 12:06 AM #1431987They turned Gollum into 3 movies. Should have been either one long movie or maybe 2 but 3 was overkill. The Lorax got its own movie and from my recollection it was a pretty short kids book. If we werent visually oriented people we probably wouldnt be playing with Daz. Ive seen people do great stuff with less and awful stuff with more.
