Thanks

Very nice, Pnina!

Pnina;

 

A sweet portrait. The light is lovely and warm suiting well the girl and her surroundings. I like the softness of the stairs and wall. The edge of the stair behind the girl is pretty hot and might benefit from some selective lowering of exposure or burning. Nice that she stopped eating her pear to pose for you :-)

Lovely shot Pnina! You have given a wonderful mood showing how innocent and

precious the children are.

Ruud, Thanks

 

Gord , I have some more photos of this girl. She is a very sweet child. Thanks for your comment about the overexposure , I was aware of it and corrected it. Thanks for your very observant eye! It is always helpful.

I upload another version of her, I hope you will see it and tell me what you think. .

 

Andrea, children are children, always need to be protected, and loved.Thanks.

What a sweetie! Great portrait, beautifully lit. The steps behind her make for a great backdrop.

חג אורים שמח to you too!

I really appreciate your work, Pnina. It is a shame that many times these people are treated disrespectfully out of narrow minded medieval mentality on the part of officials.

Regards, Tibi

Pniina;

 

I just now came across your request to comment on an alternate photo of this lovely little girl. I like the photo you uploaded however the original is my favourite. The expression in the original is sweet and both the lines and the tones in the stairs make a very complimentary background.

Tim a late thank you.

 

Tibi, Thanks for your similar point of view! It is a problem that I'm more aware of, working with people from Mesila, which are doing a lot to help. At the end we are all human being, and try our best to add a helping hand.

 

Gord, thanks for following and writing again.I have a series of Joslin and I agree with you about the first one.

A great kid street portrait Pnina....I like the natural mood so much...the color mix (with the background) help create a sweet and smooth mood that suits the portrait very well...
