Touching image, splendid compositon, perfect light and tones!

Wonderful picture. Excellent tones. I would crop out the top of the wall a little bit more. It's a bit too distracting. Bring the boy in focus. Otherwise excellent.

Dear Summer

 

Thank you for your comments.

I really can't add much to what our colleagues already have stated. However, I must disagree with Summer's observation. In my opinion, cropping the top of the wall would change the perspective the photo has, and that's one of the elements that makes it so effective. It tells, not only of a child reacting to an encounter with his mother, but also of a child feeling lost or isolated in an adult world.

 

BTW, I'm sure that children learn, to some extent, how to manipulate their parents. However, at this child's age, any disciplinary encounter with a parent can feel like a loss of that parent's love. That may explain this young man's tears and his attempt to hide his identity.

 

Outstanding capture of a very meaningful moment . . .

Dear Micheal

 

Thank you for your kind words and ratings.

So very cute, i love it. well done.

Having two little ones myself, I can attest that this is as natural a shot as it gets. I see this pose many times during the day. "No" is hard to hear (and even harder to say). Congrats on an emotionally effective shot.

He was looking for! That is a CLASSIC shot, and one of my favorite "children" pictures here on PN. Thanks for sharing, and NICE work!

It supports the moment, atmosphere and the mood!

Regards!

I am speechless!! What a capture, you have truly evoked my emotions.

 

Rise and shine, Rakesh.

Good work Raj, I cannot add much to what the others said. Splendid candid. Bravo.
