Lucy

I took my camera to children's home one morning, where I am

volunteering right now. This was one of the results. Baby Lucy

(sorry about the confusion with names, she's my little 'hijita'!)

was born premature, and still, at 2 1/2 months is tiny, though doing

well. I just want to be able to hug her and cover her to keep her

little body protected for always.

 

Any comments are welcome and appreciated, thanks, Lucy

And what it conveys. You have captured it so well and I like the B & W Vs the color. The whole image truly reflects the fragility of that life and yet the way that the hand "Hugs" it reflects the strength that all beings, especially children, have to cling to this life as precarious as it may be.

 

Great image and extremely well captured.

......the phrase comes to mind......Very expressive and touching.....Great Shot !

appealing, stereoscopical impressions. Original.

Very pleasant photo. Maarten

I love it.

Lucy,

I have to agree with the others. Excellent use of the color/bw effect. What I like the most is the subtley of the color. I find that too often when this technique is used the color is garish. Well Done!

lucy, i think you've got me beat. wow! this is excellent. you have successfully created the right mood for this photo. sign me up for your fan club. take care.

Good Idea,u done a good job, but little bit patches are there in B/W area.

I like this. Good combination of colours & B/W with loving warmth.

Lovely desaturation, , very sharp.

Nice mood!

 

thanks a lot for your kind comments.

What a beautiful image and tender projection of your touch with the human connection ~ congratulations...

best wishes,

melody.

sweet!! harder to compose a shot like this than most might think; all those fingers could come out "busy" and confusing to the eye.. THIS is perfectly done.

 

love it!

Very good! Well done and presented. Great story included!

Perfect composition and detail! You have a great photographic talent and an exellent attention to the detail of the life. Great, I love it.

I took the same type photo of my son's hand and mine, yours turned out much better. Well done.

Very tender image. Well seen and well executed. I like it, Lucy.

Very touching, very tender and moving. You heve done an excellent job here both in composition, clarity, lighting, and sharpness. The partial desat works well too (but I'd also like to see it entirely in B&W).

 

My only critique concerns the blue sleeve. Although it serves a purpose in the context of the tiny baby (for who even the smallest clothes are too big) ... I find (somewhat reluctantly) that it is a slight distraction seeing that it is bright on the edge. Still without it the photo looses something ...

 

A portrait format crop (remove the left 1/3) would be another possibility.

 

Thanks for showing.

nothing I can add to the above. Its a wonderfull shot.

 

It fits in with a theme in the words no words forum that is current, called details. (up at the top click on forums and go to no words). Its all good fun.

 

This is very well done... but I'm having a image here that the fingers in colour are normal adult size, and the other fingers are, well, huge!! Now I have this image, I can't shake it... interesting!

Lovely PS work; excellent composition.

 

Regards...

Lucy, this picture is really beautiful... Truly artistic and touching! Best regards from Toronto, Canada. 7/7

Absolutely Perfect.
