Unfortunately the new fashion statement for 2020 worldwide. She looks rather resigned to the fact that she has to wear it,much like the rest of us.Hopefully the day will come when we no longer have to wear one. A nicely focused image with natural colors.

Hopefully this will soon be curious footnote and life can resume in a more familiar pattern. A very nice shot that is well composed and shown in great colors.

oh she dont look happy..sad but we have to keep this angel safe.(thumbs up). the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this unhappy angel with mask is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of your beloved & beautiful Granddaughter Stella wearing a mask as she walks outside. A look of slight concern seen in her eyes. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Fred,
I understand little children love to be able to copy their parents... I hope all your family stays well & healthy.

Comment from adriansart
I tell you what Fred its a powerful image and your title goes with it perfectly but isn't it scary to see that children as well as us adults are forced to live like this no matter how far advanced we think the human race is when it come down to a virus and pandemic that we can do nothing about it just shows that we are now that advanced at all ! Just like the world has been cast in a horror movie!

thanks so much again;
at her age, she is not required to wear a mask: just wanted to do like mom..

Comment from Neilnap773
Firstly ,hope she and the rest of your family are well and coping through these hard and frustrating times.The image itself is good but sad as it is undoubtadly hard for children especially, to fully understand what is going on

Comment from nikman
And I must say she does not look too happy about it either! Your fine and classical composition grants us a good look at a modern and topical portrait. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done!

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
Poor thing. She must be really hating all these lockdown and these masks etc. My grandchildren too are restless sitting at home for the last 50 days.Thhe lockdown will be gradually lifted from coming Monday onwards in some areas as per news. This is a fine capture of Stella in her new avatar. The infectious smile is missing!:)
