I'm quite taken with, and really rather obsessed with this one. Looks to me that the subject is drying herself off after a dip in the stream, and finding her reflection there--with a certain mythological feeling about it all, as if she were Narcissus, or Bathsheba. It also looks to me that this may be a photo of another photo, which was propped up against something and shot at a bit of angle, with the bottom edge of the original photo the white strip that rakes at a diagonal about 2/3 of the way down. Or, perhaps, that strip is in fact a bridge, crossing over the water right there, which also happens to obscure the rest of her reflection? I'm not certain, but it keeps me looking at it again and again, and makes for an image that, at least to my eye, keeps jumping back and forth in an infinite and unknowable loop.
2 3/4" x 4 1/2" and in overall good condition, with a couple of small stains and a fingerprint at center right edge, too-- which I personally always to see.
