Great, this is more than a portrait!

A little constructive comment:

Maybe you can darken and soften the skirt a bit. My eyes will go on to that place becouse it is too scharp and contrastfull. The face of the child must be catching my eye.

The mother is yust fine in ballance as background.

Thanks very much Wim for your constructive comment. I will do an attempt to darken the shirt a bit. Thanks again brother! Lieve Groetjes, Ada:~)

 

PS, those big dark eyes reminds me of yours when you were such a little boy. I will search in the albums for an old picture of you to post in on PN, do you like that?;~)

Ada, good crop done here. I like the mother only as a "hint", and all the attention focused on the childs face. nice in B/W. Pnina

Great capture of his facial expression. I don't find the Mom's clothing as distracting as Wim. I do, though, find her shoulder distracting

Such a beautiful little boy, and wonderful skin detail with such soft texture. I'm inclined to agree with Wim, that if you can dodge the mom's wrap and forehead a bit...Another thing that will help keep our eyes on his face would be to whiten his eyes a little. I think you made a good choice to use black and white here - color would have detracted, I think!

 

It's lovely work - thanks for sharing again! Kisses - Lee

I'm very happy with all the constructive comments. I only think that there is some misunderstanding concerning the content of Wim's comment.

 

In the first posted version of this picture the shirt of the boy was a bit to harsh. (Wim's comment was related to that version!) I have deleted that version and have upload my restored version which looks much better now. For as far as I understand Wim is full content with the brightness of the headscarf of the mother in the background.

 

I will do another attempt with the advices given by you, Ken and Lee. I'm very curious to the final result!

 

Greetings from Holland to all of you! Ada:~)

Wat een mooie foto!!

Heel bijzonder hoor, Groetjes Ellen.

(bedankt voor je grappige com. op mijn meeuw,

het leuke was dat hij met zijn 'voeten'op en neer ging, omdat het hem te heet werd :)

Ellen and Colin thank you both for the kind words.

 

Ellen, ik dacht al zoiets, het moet wel gloeiend heet zijn geweest op dat metaal. Wat zo'n beest al niet over heeft voor een kruimel brood;)

 

Colin, some people don't like that small part of his mum there, but I like it too. IMO it adds something special to this picture. Yesterday I have given the mother the picture and she was very happy with it. She prefered the colourversion;)
