Simply exceptional. I love the luminous and loving expressions beaming out of those soft shadows. The desaturated color adds to the softness as well. Beautiful.

Me and my mam. I have been trying to get the lighting and tones

right for ages. Hope I've done it. Any comments most welcome.

 

Best wishes

The tones are good, the arrangement of the hands 'interesting' (at first misleading), nice strong eye contact, mam emphasised with son in support. Could tone down that white light line left of her head.

Superb !

Now this is what a portrait should be- you have captured the moment and the two people so well that viewers that don't even know them will find the image worth contmeplating for a long time. Very, very nicely done - thanks for sharing it with us!

Great portrait work! The real thing. This is genuine, expressive, beautifully done. The light is in your faces. I might not have cropped so tightly on your face, leaving just a little room to breathe like with your mom. Brings out wonderful emotion in me.

The light and tones are beautiful. I think it is just lovely. I know when I have taken photo's of my mom, now 81 yrs, it is hard to get the skin tones, looking nice. You have done a fantastic job. I am sure your Mom is pleased. The image show's warmth and love. The close crop on your side tells me that the photo is about her and that it is for you to have. Nicely done! Kind Regards Andrea

It's a good one, I agree, nice work! If I had to be picky, I maybe wouldn't mind just a tiny trace more of a smile on your mom's face. That said, I wish I had a nice one like this of my mom and myself!

Thanks for the kind comments. Unfortunately, the reason my mam's face is sort of expressionless is because she has Parkinson's disease. This 'Parkinson's mask' is one of the first subtler indicators of the disease. However, she may well be unhappy as well since she hates her picture taken.

 

Please don't worry about my mother though, Parkinson's isn't fatal and although she can't get out anymore, she is very happy and I love her very much.

 

Many thanks,

i like a lot this picture and your way of looking. Ciao Elena

This is my favourite picture of my mother and I, who sadly has passed away and left me heart-broken.

 

Sleep well Mam, until we meet again.

I'm truly sorry to hear about your mother's passing. Her photos speak loudly of your care and connection for each other. I wish you a lot of peace.
