[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While I was shooting in Kumasi doing work for a Health Project we visited numerous clinics throughout the days of travel. This little girl came in with her father just for a check up as she had a small fever the night before. Automatically assuming clinic visit meant needle she put on the big pout and was very apprehensive towards the nurse looking her over. Overexposing the photo enabled me to create the stark contrast between the white wall behind her and her face trully emphasizing her expression and eyes.

Hi Adam,
The simplicity of this photograph exposes the simplicity of the little girl. Her deep expression is brought out through the black and white colours and the contrast between the white background and her face. Good composition. Well done.

Hey Adam,
I though you have too much overposure here but it worked well! The expression in her eyes are more evident due to the contrast. Despite her fears within, I see a lovely face in your capture!
Nice work dude!
