O Human Child

O Human Child by Beppie K.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping
than you can understand

W. B. Yeats

Thank you all. Marcin-- the light is just regular old sunlight-- I think it works because, firstly, she's sitting on the edge of a shadow, and secondly, because I changed it to a darker sepia tone, which I think makes the light in her hair look more otherworldly.

I find this so charming and old-fashioned - it actually reminds me of the Cottingley photos of children and fairies. Congratulations on winning Pick-of-the-Week!
