Quietly pretty.

This is much finer than it looks; the scan has invariably smoothed it and reduced the lighting which really brings out its detail.

There is something about this photo that captivates me.

Half-fringe, delicate neck, her collarbone causing a light bump in the chain of pearls. Sailor-collar blouse. Most of all her teeth, the two front ones crooked, and the incisor on the left. Kind smile with a hint of a giggle, or an uncertain, vague, somewhat wary, stare? I can't decide.
