Cute, but that's a good way to get a straw hat full of poop. I hope she didn't put that on her head afterwards. She would become a poophead.

It's interesting that chicken wire was used as a background -- against a blue background that doesn't "read" as "outdoors" -- to me.

OMG! I can't believe my eyes.
Besides the wonderful kitschiness of this image I am just amazed by the color palette.
BTW, I have been searching for information about this carbro process mentioned. Here (as expected) the Wikipedia entry on Carbro processing.
