21. hanging wrote: My thought is that the mother was sadly leaving the girl because of the issue of conjugality. The little girl is crying. I did playback over and over, and found that you put pink face on the mother toward the little girl.
22. hanging wrote: And with all the airy colours around, I assumed that you decided to go with your wish in this pic instead of with the fact....
23. hanging wrote: Maybe, it's the fact that she came to pick the girl up.
24. Qsilv wrote: I'm honored by all of your interest in this picture... intrigued by it too. Somehow I'd thought it would just slip silently by, like most of the "thin" ones I do.
25. hanging wrote: I think how much this pic has stimulated people's imagination is as important as what you originally meant.
26. Qsilv wrote: smiling.... I believe you're right. Do I tell the underlying story? Or...

32. Login wrote: A clever depiction, Q. I don't know why I couldn't see the father figure properly ... now I can see his hand clutching the newspaper and his legs are crossed, with one foot showing. It's so obvious that my first take on him now sounds ridiculous.

34. Qsilv wrote: Not a single one sounded at all implausible, much less ridiculous... in fact some might've been more realistic life-visions than mine... I'll never know for sure.

42. mum23 wrote: Q, I owe you. Please don't feel bad about what's happened.. it has been important for me. It's no accident that I posted my message on this pic! I have added to 'the usual picture'- please look.
43. mum23 wrote: By the way, it appears others have looked there too. Your email address is there - would you rather I deleted it? I'm in two minds about doing so anyway, but definitely will if you're not comfortable about your email being so public..
44. Qsilv wrote: I'm fine with the email... I don't keep it blatantly in my profile, but I've offered it a couple other times in forum. ;>
