portraits My life, my daughter, my heart

Your critiques are welcome.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Stefano.

I could have sworn I rated this image already, but then I noticed this one is vertical. This is equally nice.

Avevo detto bellissima foto su quell'altra, ma questa è anche meglio. Oltretutto la tua bimba è bellissima lei, non solo la fotografia. (7/6 anon)

Mauro,

 

ti ringrazio davvero molto per le tue parole.

 

Ho postato questa immagine due volte: questa ed una versione ritagliata.

 

Visto che sulla seconda (versione ritagliata) chiedevo al forum quale fosse la migliore, questo tuo commento risponde anche alla mia domanda.

 

Penso che, sebbene la mia idea iniziale fosse quella di "stringere" sul viso incorniciato dai capelli,

l'inclusione delle mani non distragga l'osservatore dal viso.

 

Grazie ancora, e' sempre un piacere per me incontrarti.

 

Stefano.

Dunque, Stefano:

in genere "critico" le foto dalla pagina del rating anonimo perché non voglio farmi influenzare dall'amicizia (che è una bellissima cosa, ma ti fotte quando devi parlare chiaro). Questo per dirti che non avevo visto le tue richieste di comparazione tra le due versioni ma solo le due versioni a pochi minuti di distanza l'una dall'altra. Comunque si, questa a mio avviso è la migliore anche perché le mani in primo piano non solo non disturbano, ma conferiscono un po' di profondità di campo e di tridimensionalità al ritratto, ulteriormente aumentata dallo sfondo ben sfocato. L'esposizione è eccellente e la rende appunto una grande foto. Ciao e buon week-end

A beautiful girl, expertly and nicely photographed...

Wow !!!

Congratulazioni, bellissimo ritratto e naturalmente bellissima bimba. Tecnicamente è perfetta sia nell'inquadratura che nell'ottimo lavoro di postproduzione. Credo sia vincente la scelta della visibilita' delle mani e nell'uso del diaframma, Anche l'attimo dello scatto ha catturato una espressione estremamente naturale.

Ciao

I'm usually a rabid cropper but in this instance I prefer this image any day to the close cropped one you have also posted. Her hands, the way she holds her middle finger and that uplifted index finger. This is a much fuller portrait. I have no doubt if I had only that other portrait to view I would have liked it very much. She is such a lovely child!

 

I wished to rate A7/O6 but it seems you have given me a 7 within the last 14 days...and I can't rate this 6/6.

On second thoughts I would clip a bit from top, the black border.

So you met Rajat! He will be very helpfull, frank and honest. Should you cropped the thin black border, anyway, be careful and don't tuch any of her hair. As more as I look at this picture as much I like it.

 

Mauro

Wow Rajat,

 

what a wonderful comment you left me...Thank you very very much!

 

You're right, I could cut the dark on top, I will certainly try some.

 

I've really appreciated your observations on her hands, even for me they are very aesthetic.

 

Also thanks for the compliments to the child, since she is my daughter, I am proud.

 

Best regards.

 

Stefano.

Hello my friend!

 

Thanks for your kind words...

 

Yes I've meet Rajat and for this I am very happy.

 

Regards.

 

Stefano.

Your daughter is a beautiful child.....but never mind that.....this portrait is first-rate! Although I also love the cropped shot, this one is so much more dynamic. It reveals part of her personality, I feel. And the lovely blouse she has on lends texture but is still soft to accentuate those fantastic curls. I don't remember the last time I've seen a portrait I've enjoyed more. She also looks like a very sweet child. :-) I see one little speck on her left cheek just out from her lip line. If it's a blemish or mole, I'd leave it.....but if it's a speck, I'd remove it.

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment and helpful advice.

 

I've really appreciate.

Stefano a close to my heart portrait of an adorable daugther of yours.  My grands are close to my heart and I am having a blast shotting them at every chance!!! Fantastic image my friend.  Warm regards.

Stunning image of your daughter. A timeless treasure for sure!!

This one takes the cake: the datail of the hair, the hands and the inquisitive look - it all comes together. Absolutely charming!

I would like to thank you Jorge, for your warm friendship, and the little Alexa for her wonderful gifts!!

Warm regards, my friend.

Stefano.

 

Dear friends,

Wonderful portrait, Stefano...brilliant expression and tonality...definitely you've reasons to be a proud father...my best

Beautiful portrait of this very beautiful and sweet little girl! I love the expression you have captured, the look in her eyes...and of course, the curls! (I am rather partial to curly hair) I hope she stays close to your heart always...they grow up very fast. Thank you for sharing this lovely image. :)
