It is a gorgeous portrait. I agree with the good things that have been said about it, but I can't help seeing a dark side to the photo, as well.(posted 8611 days ago)I see a commonality between the girls and the flower arrangements that they're holding up so prominently. They're all neatly arrayed and presented as objects of beauty to be appreciated on this special occasion, but there is an artificial quality to the presentation. And, of course, their "prettiness" will fade with time.
