jewels and misery

Just a snapshot but i´d like your comments

Much too big. I'm on a modem, so I didn't bother to wait for it to load. You may want to make it closer to the suggested size of 800px in the longest dimension. Also, what's going on above her head? Lots of strange looking artifacts.

Very odd artificially blurred background?

A beautiful image that captures a tender moment between mother and child regardless of what language is spoken. The colors are vibrant and beautiful! Fabulous image!

This is an excellent capture of a very intimate moment. I think it would have been better if you could have included all of the feet. Clone out the white object in the bottom fg. The bg is perfectly blurred IMO, it creates the setting for the subject, very well done a lovely picture.

A very good image:

1- A perfect description of an intimate, sweet moment;

2- an outstanding touch of colour;

3- a composition that highlight the first two points.

Marina, esta si que me gusta, no es un retrato NADA convencional, y me gusta la composición "envolvente" de la madre hacia su hijo, centrándonos en la acción.

 

Como siempre, y para no ser menos: el corte tan justito de sus piernas.

 

Y otra opción: acercarnos más.

It is a depiction of one of the most basic elements for life, so yes it's tender, touching and all. Who wouldn't like such a giving, life affirming scene? It strikes us as different because of her dress and choice of seating. Perhaps this isn't so uncommon in that culture. I don't understand the comment about it being large, it's rather small actually, hard to see at all on my monitor. Nice colors, the tight crop is OK but it looses something by shedding the environment. The public background makes a kind of statement in and of itself. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image.

What part are you referring to as misery?

Lovely colors, nice moment you caught. I would crop too, but not as much as suggested earlier. I would certainly crop out the clutter on the bottom (pack of smokes?).

she was an indigent asking for some money at the street. I didn´t know when i shot , she was absort feeding her kid . I never pay for a pic , but in this particular case, when i realize her condition, i did it

como siempre , gracias !

Ya sabes que te considero la reina del crop ,pero en este caso me da pena que no se vean las pulseras de la mano izq , ya que fue lo que mas me impresiono ,la cantidad de joyas que llevaba encima , Luego me di cuenta que estaba dando de mamar y despues de hacer la foto , vi que estaba mendigando........... (Todavia no me he recuperado)

Ahí va una nueva sugerencia ¿ que te parece ?

Pues si Marina, tu corte me gusta mucho más., no me había dado cuenta del detalle de las joyas, y además significando tanto para tí (al fin y al cabo tu eres la autora). Lo que me pasa es que me cuesta mucho ver una foto en formato cuadrado.

Excellent!

El corte bueno es el de la autora. Una foto genial y llena de humanidad. Premio!

Beautiful capture, I like it cropped and how you have it originally. The moment caught is beautiful, the colours are lovely.

As always, your images contain bright colors, rich details and seem to tell a story and invoke emotions. Yes, a tender moment indeed. It takes a sensitive person to see what many of use fail to see, and a skillful person to capture it. You're in your element, Marina. Good show!

Tu obra es excepcional. He elegido esta imagen para comentar (podía haber sido cualquiera) pero esta la encuentro muy especial, transmite todo el amor y calor del más tierno de los actos naturales. Me gusta mucho.

Recibe un cordial saludo desde León.

Hermosisima composicion, para mi gusto le falta un poco en la composicion para haberte puesto el 7. En cualquier caso, bello momento. Felicidades

Maravillosa, momento muy tierno y humano. Felicitaciones!

I have been meaning to tell you how beautiful this shot is. I still can't find quite the right words to the acknowledge the glory in this photo, but I begin trying.

Amazing color! Amazing heart! Marina Poblacion thank you!!
