Margo and Desire is a very different kind of image than the previous two (portraiture series). While Desire is looking at the camera, our attention does not stop there as with the other images. Instead, it moves down to meet Margo who is the only part of the picture in focus. I like the dynamicism or competition between Desire who thinks she's got all the attention but in fact Margo is the one creating the humor and really making it fun. I also like how both girls are fully within the picture frame. There is also a more performative element to this photograph than the other two. Desire is clearly posing for the camera, although she is posing how she wants to be.
