Dashanes Boy

Thanks for your comments and ratings.

Typical digital pic shooting whith the camera ahead the .......navel

im thuroughly captured not by the nain focus, but the child in the background. heartfelt.

Thanks Ian for your comment . I agree with you

Impressive close up portrait!

OHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!.......... que ojos.... que mirada, estoy destrozado emocionalmente..... Marina, has capturado el alma de este niño. Aspectos "mejorables" (subjetivamente: ninguno), la linea blanca al lado de la oreja del niño... me molesta un poco (corregible via photoshop tapandola un poquito con el resto del fondo, que al estar tan difuminado hace la tarea chupada).... El otro niño en el background.... compensa la fotografía, la hace más artística, peroooooo.... esos ojos.... son tan potentes que lo demás queda demasiado desdibujado...

 

 

Ahhh!!!... precioso ejemplo para escepticos de lo digital en general, y de Sony en particular.... viva la 717 (y la 828 :)).

Las primeras fotos que me llamaron la atencion en Photo.net fueron de una tal Marina Poblacion. Eran de Rajasthan e India en gral. Hoy nos regalas otra de esas que hacen que la gente se quede dando vueltas por esta web. Gracias.

no le podes dar un par de milimetros de aire al de atras?

I just love this photo! Great!

Opino igual que Juan: Un pelín de espacio a la derecha, pero esta foto le toca a uno las fibras del alma. Bien hecho Marina!

Me gusta como está...Marina: ¡gracias!

Marina, no doubt this shot is a great one. I agree with all of the above comments: you just can´t help looking at his eyes, and including the boy on the background is simply excellent. As I usually "mess around" with your shots, I am uploading a BW version, and also slightly cropped on the top (to make it more drastic and to strengthen his eyes.

Marina,,por una vez mas..aun que hemos decidido que no, trato de expresarma en la lengua de servantes. Son las 10.07pm de TW, en el "Business Center de la Lounge". Todo perfecto... mi avion sale a las 11.50pm.(En Deluxe Class)... estoy tomando un conac... pastelitos..sandwich...cerveza... todo lo que quiera y aun mas...entonces que?....que hacemos? ..rating?...coment?...para que finalmente..para mi? pare ti? para ellos? Seguro que un dia llegara..que todo se mueva.."un dia llegara el dia de mi suerte" (Hector Lavoe)..."el dia de sus suertes" (FP)...me perturbas...no rating.... me esperan 13 horas de vuelo...Si no, ...Charo,,talvez...Piensa te lo..aqui en TW...unas buenas ofertas de L......

Excellent portrait!

Grandiosa !! Siempre me tocas dentro con estas fotos... no es por molestar ... ¿pero cuando vuelves a la españa fotografica?

Tremenda!!, no se con que mirada quedarme sin con la del chaval del primer plano o la del otro desenfocado, otra gran foto para la coleccion. Felicidades.

Insisto en mi cropping. Lo que creo que aparta esta foto de al perfección es que el niño del fondo aparece "incrustado" contra el borde derecho de la imagen.

I dont know what kind of comment do you want, but first of all I want to write you that it is a very touching photo. The biggest compliment that I do is that the photo does not let me indifferent, that moves me; this one and some other from you haunts me, dont let me in peace, I can not see it without experimenting that it is real, therefore beautiful in a very deep way. Perhaps it is not pretty what I see, but shows reality therefore beauty. In this case I see humanity twice, childrens and yours. Another mood in the other photo in this folder, but the same deep beauty, the same humanity, that I perceive again twice. A lot can be said on this quality of your photos, sometimes I would like to sit with you to tell how deep you go in your images, but now only one thing: Undoubtely it is difficult to be indifferent to the subjects of your photos, but I dont think that they are so impresive only because of them, not every photographer could get a touching photo from this persons (children or adults), you have to empathize with them and I think that this is your secret, this is what makes your photos great.

 

The emotions that many of your photos awake dont hinder me to be critical and rational as well. I dont see technical shortcomings here or in the other photo, perhaps I see that you have material to explore and develop other possibilities, Charo ant Luis made you very interesting proposals, I like best the one that made Luis, not so much the cropping but the contrast, I think that the message is clearer and more dramatic in Luis version. But that is only my opinion. Anyhow I want to say that the B&W version does not exclude he color one.

 

Marina, this is wonderful. It is so beautifully composed and so well presented....I am not surprised it is yours! Congratulations!

Marina, you have really done justice to your images with this one... my goodness, I felt a stab in my heart seeing the eyes of these children. You have magic coming out of your camera. Your images invoke feelings, you move people with your images. It takes a special person to do this... surely your heart is in your photography. I salute you! You MUST continue to with your photography. Someday I hope to buy your book....

I personally prefer Luis Argüelles' cropping. He's right about the background boy being sort of glued to the border.

As for the emotions conveyed here they are very intense. A photo that makes one think and ponder about basics beliefs of ours. So many things taken for granted and then... These images!

I hadn´t seen Luis version, and it is far better than mine. No doubt!

Nice & sharp with a great expression. The boy in background is a nice added touch

Stunning and elegant; one of those images that makes me think "wish I had shot this.." Where is Dashanes Bay?

Wonderful image! This picture tells a terrific (and sad!) story. Bravo!!
