I Trust You Will Return

One of the first tasks of childhood is learning how to trust.

Amazing how this struggle continues into adulthood.

Comments/suggestions welcome.

Jeff, beautiful image. you told the story using the elements of composition, subtle pastel color, lighting, poses of both subjects. Great shot.

Thanks Roy. I appreciate your thoughtful comment.

I think the story is not true, for I felt she/he is already returning and holding something in his/her hand !

I love your POV on this image, Jeff!! Best regards!

Gabi can trust her dear parents! Nice shot!

Fabulous composition accompanied by a meaningful explanation.

Extremely moving photo...excellent composition and great use of DOF to tell a story

Splendid story, indeed! Original idea also.

Inspired title for an exquisite composition! My compliments and regards, Maury

Perfect scene and DOF, very good composition, best regards.

We dont see a face, but the expression in this picture is amazing, really original and well done. Congratulation my friend.

Hi Jeff, where did you shot this image? Its superb...

This picture, to me, is the most touching in your portfolio, perhaps because I'm going through the same phase now with my son. We have spent so much time together in his first year that we have become inseperable. He cries so much when I have to leave that I used to be concerned until my wife told me that this is because he is learning to trust that you will come back. You put these words into pixels so well. Thanks.

Thanks. I imagine this emotional connection between parent and child as a rubberband that stretches (sometimes a lot), but always returns.

Yes, this picture is designed to tug at the heartstrings, no doubt!

 

I remember the first time my wife & I took my 2nd son, Ladi, to his first day at day care. He started crying as soon as we both started heading for the exit door. We ended up staying with him for a quarter of an hour before he got engaged with his care-giver and forgot about us, and then we sneaked off.

 

Great image, and extremely evocative.

 

Cheers,
