The moment I saw the photo I said, "How Cute! I want this!"
The color coordination of the hat and the clothes are so vivid and beautiful.
The little birds and the rabbit by the widow made me wonder if she is princess who lives with animals.
I love being able to look at a photo and be able to make up a fantasy.

Gina Garan's choice

[ nono ]

This is such a beautiful photo. It's so peaceful and contemplative.
It makes me wonder what Blythe is thinking about - is she sad, wistful or is she simply just relaxing in the sand.
It's a very moving photo.

Junko Wong's choice

This shot is very playful! Blythe is usually already very alive in all of her pictures but this shot makes her a real person.
Like two friends playing hide and seek you can see there is a connection between them.
I would love to be there to play with them, too. Pictures like these make me feel happy and nostalgic.
