Pensive

Soft, sweet and tender. Bravo Jeff. Very nice portrait my friend.

Such beautful eyes and lashes. What a face! Lovely portrait...

What a sweet pose, great crop and so well done.

This shot, taken in the context of the rest of your pictures of your daughter, is not just a "cute" childhood picture, but a moment of reflection and depth that appears at first blush to belie her age and life experiences, yet having spent time with both children, I'm sure you notice these genuine moments, when they take leave of their assigned role as children and morph into something deeper, more interesting, and almost eternal, like a reflection from an earlier existence. The technical aspects of this shot, to me, is less interesting as the capture itself.

 

You captured a very interesting and meaningful expression. Moreover shot technically perfect. Best regards. Glauco

WOW!

 

I love the white around her face it brings us back to her gorgeous brown eyes!

 

they just wait to challeng you. The eyes tell so much.

 

Her soft skin is almost like a fine refined doll.

Plus I want those eyelashes! Just like a doll. Bravo on this exceptional portrait. Cheers -

Excellent portrait,Jeff. She is pensive,but I feel she is in a contemplative mood.Very good cropping,exposure and skin tone.

Ah, those rare childhood moments-then, boom, they are off and running again. Delightful.

Excellent composition.Very good light.Jeff - my best regards.Janusz.

Been a while, friend. Hope all's well with you.

 

Marvellous shot here. There's such a sense of what i'll simply term 'quiet strength' emanating from this shot, as if she's thinking "Whatever it is...........I'll get through it".

 

A beautifully captured moment in time that exudes such character and personality for such a little one.

 

Regards,

Beautiful portrait, a charming and original capture. Best regards

 

For generous thoughts, comments, and ratings. I'm going to hop over to your ports to see what you all are up to.

Stunning portrait, perfectly done!

What a delicate portrait and expresion you have captured here Jeff...I can imagine some years from now in the future when she'll realize how much love and energy you've put into capturing her child image...simply priceless...

Being the grandmother of five, almost six, beautiful children, is one of my delights so of course I couldn't resist this wonderful portrait of such a charming child. She does look "pensive", the world is a big confusing place when you're only three but I'm sure with your love and guidence she'll grow into a wise woman. I like the way you've "cropped" the image as it keeps my focus on that lovely little face....how sweet.

Jeff, you're doing a very fine job in cretaive portraiture. Very well done!

Well Jeff, you know how I am. Great capture, great expression, would make a stunning BW ( see what I meant ? ) Cheers.

Your comments have been so fun to read, and it makes the experience of posting so enjoyable. I really appreciate it.

Per your request, here's the B&W version.

Beautiful portrait, apt title.

Regards

One of the things I love about your work Jeff is that it is all so natural and spontaneous, you are so good at capturing those precious little moments that make life wonderful. I can't remember seeing one photo from you that looked contrived. I love this sweet little face with the dark wisps of hair. Absolutly beautiful! I looked at some of the comments from your other fans. I don't know what else I could add.

 

Ah ah Jeff...thanks for the BW version my friend, this color one is fantastic, the BW...stunning. Great work, Jeff, eitherway

Jeff: I just saw your attached b&w version -- equally lovely. Regerds, Joe
