Nothing in particular. I just don't like to stick every subject smack dab in
the middle of the frame. Anyway, there no major significance to this shot.
It's just my niece having fun coloring Easter eggs. I was just trying to make a
fun, colorful, artistic shot of this simple event.
Well, it certainly is fun. I still have an egg dyed with red cabbage leaves from when my no-longer-step-daughter was a little girl!
Well, looking at the photograph again I'm struck by the asymmetries, nonetheless, and wonder whether you did them on purpose. The body isn't in the center, the egg isn't in the center of the hands, but it's centered in the scene!
Interesting and fun to speculate about just what's planned!
And the fingers are great!
