No need for words because it's so captivating in itself, the tiny hand and the father in what can be assumed a tender caring loving moment. No we can't hear his "whispers," but there's an emotional feeling in the picture that everyone must feel as I do. It's felt particularly more so by an emotional jerk like myself and I find it a most captivating life moment without words at all. My verbal re-action quietly to myself as it opened?.... "Damn she's good!" :-) And you show it each time you capture moments such as this! I noticed in other posts analysis of the picture because of the description and in this case where we really have no absolute visual indicating who what why, I feel it would've been better to leave it un-captioned. Besides I found the picture so strong in itself I never looked at the words. Nor do I think it required any because the visual is so strong it doesn't need any. Yes I can understand words when the exhibition is hung, that's different than posting a photograph to a group of supposedly visual astute folks. ted
