Thoughts.

At first glance I noticed a girl wearing all white, holding a mask, and standing in front of a chalkboard. I took the white outfit and chalkboard to symbolize a blank slate or canvas. In 2011 we can make our bodies into anything we want them to be, which is what I think the mask symbolizes. We have a true self, a true body, and we can choose to let this be and be seen; or we can become what we want the world to see or what we think the world wants to see. I like the position of the girl's mask, because it makes me wonder if she is about to put it on or take it off. Is she about to plunge in or come up for air? I also love the highlighting of the green in the center because it naturally draws my eyes, and I have to work a little bit to look at the girl. The placement of the girl on the left third line was a good composition technique.
