For the life of the flesh is in the blood.

Jack is right about the Rembrandt comment. The lighting here is impressive. What ISO setting did you use to obtrain such sharp results with no tripod, I presume?

Thank you Emmanuel, you're right I didn't use tripod in any of this pictures. ISO was set to 160; what helped me a lot in there was the bright light used by the surgical team, and the use of spot metering. Thanks for your visit and comments.

Looks like a painting ...surgery of Dr Tulp

 

Bravo!

Tatjana, having this image compared to such a wonderful painting, is about as nice a comment as one can receive; I don't really think I'm even near that, but really appreciate you liking this photo.

 

Cheers,

 

I'm a little late but congratulations on both image and baby but mostly baby. I'm glad Mother and her are fine.

Thank you Kent, always a pleasure having you around. We're actually great......I must admit to be utterly in love with my two women.

Hola Juan Carlos:

 

Lamentablememnte he estado muy ocupado y no habia tenido tiempo de volver a ver tu portafolio y he quedado realmente boquiabierto con lo nuevo que has incluido

.

La serie sobre tu nuevo bebe es sencillamente espectacular-nuevamente felicitaciones a ti y a tu sennora.

 

Esta foto realmente me ha llegado al alma como foto y como testimonio de lo que estabas viendo y sintiendo.

La composicion y especialmente la iluminacion son sencillamente espectaculares

 

Felicitaciones Maestro !

Congratulations to the photographer, but above all to the happy father and mother. No words can tell what it is like to become a father and mother, so let me just wish you, family and baby all the best, Juan Carlos.

Gracias Ricardo, aprecio mucho tus comentarios; decir que te ha llegado al alma, me complace sobremanera, ya que fue justo un momento de gran emotividad y significado el que busque plasmar en la foto. Los sentimientos son indescriptibles, pero algo ayudan las imagines a transmitir eso que va mucho mas allá de las palabras.

Gracias Maestro!

 

Thank you Laurent, indeed there are no words to describe the Keeling; however an image might help transmit that into the viewer, I hope I accomplished some of that, in sharing the fright, thrill, and ultimate joy that comes with such a moment.

Cheers,
