Thanks for having a look at this photo of a Tibetan mother and son

and any thoughts on the photo. Susan

...the same everywhere no matter what colour of your skin is...

great photo!

The photo is... ... ... lovely! Why it is lovely? Because it shows in a beautiful, warm, photographic approach, with high quality, one of the most admirable pairs in the world: a mother and her son! And if the son is a bit suspicious about the photographer, or the photographer camera, I think that the mother has a wide smile on her face. So, everything is ok! In my opinion, in our days, Humanity lives a enormous crises concerning the identities and values and that's why many people have a tremendous need to say "this is this", "that is that",... The first important quality of things that are is that... things are. So the first important quality of love is that... love is. For me that's enough. Again, a wonderful b/w photo. Best regards.

I agree whole-heartedly with previous posters, BUT I think the skin is a bit (no, a lot) over softened and it doesn't need to be.

I think his face was just naturally soft as I have no idea how to do that kind of editing. :)

What a fine shot!
