I find it fascinating that this photo is so captivating. No color.

And yet there's something magic happening here.

The look in the little girl's eyes, the way in which her face and that of the stuffed animal line up, the difficulty in judging her emotions - is she grinning slightly, sad, quirky, thoughtful?

I find this quite compelling.
