    What vision and compassion. Your technical achievement here is impeccable. The “gaze” of Lisa looking at Min is so loving and beautiful. The way the scene is depicted is superb. Of particular merit is the way you composed the light entering the porch. The curve of the light just barely touching Lisa’s toes and the shadow created is so elegant. Being able to “go through” this house and glimpse a part of another house is fascinating… a photograph within a photograph. The hint of detail in the upper part of the door has peeked my curiosity… and I love the “red line” atop the frame. While I don’t know what it is…the cord connecting the address numbers with the other object works so well… This could have been a “sweet snapshot” of mother and child. With your vision and photographic skills, you retained this straightforward feel and elevated the moment into something of beauty and wonderment. I’m sure the photograph far succeeds the computer image I’m viewing… Hoping you don’t get rid of the Calumet…
    My Best to you…
