Laurent, wonderful work. Best regards, Franz

Franz...Thank you....I had a great subject who just lit up the lense!Salutations-Laurent

Cher Laurent: Mes salutations les plus chères comme toujours et mes meilleures salutations personnelles. This is the expression of happiness and

joie de vivre, the carelessness for the complications of life and the deeper questions of the cosmos and our existence in this magnificent Planet... (by the way, I recommend you watch "One Strange Rock" on Netflix, interesting reflections of where we are and who we are, but not how we came to be here...). Technically, I like the soft finish, the extraordinary DOF and the subdued contrast. Another sample of your always magnificent work. I hope you had a nice weekend. Take care. DG

Just great!! And that smile is catching!!!

Daniel...Merci bien mon ami de ces bons souhaits...et je t'en souhaite autant.And I also thank you for your kind observation:this one I had uploaded before in color and as a full body portrait.Given the so attaching smile,I chose to crop tighter but in doing so,I had to tweak the definition to compensate for the lost of pixel for the already poor quality of this scan off a small print....but in the end the endearing face of the young man prevailed over the tech quality.This was 20 years ago I was given this smile and I wonder...no I am sure this boy has turned out into a fine young man.Toujours mes meilleures salutations amicales-Laurent

Warren...You got it....the smile was catching when I shot this 20 years ago and still gets me every time i look at it.Thank you for agreeing and for the write.Salutations-Laurent

C'est un monde de merveille, un sourire éternel. Mes salutations amicales et meilleures souhaits. Albert

Albert...Merci de ces bons mots d'appréciation.De se mêler à ces gens si sympathiques est un prévilège,de pouvoir y tirer de tels sourires est un cadeau comme vous pouvez surement en témoigner.Salutations amicales-Laurent
