She was very concerned about the difference in his chin and her's! He told her that when she got older she too would have an "extra one"! Kinda like a turkey he informed her...

Great portrait, Janis. And... yes, it is the hard truth. Best regards, Torfinn.

Very well captured, the explained story adds some added value to this excellent portrait. I like his face, showing no emotions, and her smile. I wonder what would happen when it would not be his grandchild...regards,maria

Thanks for the comment Maria! It is his Great GrandChild, and even if she were not related to him I feel sure she would have gotten the same response. We are talking about a very gentle and compassionate man....as well as one well equiped with a sharp sense of humor!

 

Here is a shot of the end of their conversation.....

This is really sweet.

 

Ger..

What a wonderful connection you've captured! I love the slight desaturation in tones, which gives a sense of timelessness to the photo.

What a lifelike & gorgeous capture! Best regards

Ohhhh, Janis...this is probably one of my most favorites from you. It tells such a sweet story. I think these two shots would work well together also. I'm betting Grandpa would like to have a copy for his wall. :)

 

 

Janis, this is really wonderful! I agree that the mild desat is nice and if you did that on the attached photo as well, they would make a wonderful pair. I just love her look of contemplation and absolute comfort/security in her stance while in his arms. You can tell that they share a wonderful and close relationship. They are not strangers. Wonderful!

Outstanding! I wonder how many shots like this are missed. Too many I'm sure. Nice job. ~Sky

Beautiful work. This is a great image, very expressive and shows an expressive relationship between the two of them and also reaches out to the viewer. I particularly like the subtlety of the way his hand comes around her waist. Her touch of smile and softness against him are wonderful. I like the desaturation as well. The light is very nice.

I love this shot! A priceless treasure!

Wonderful image. Composition and tones are excellent. I love the way she is looking at him. Very touching.

As a grandfather of a four year old perfect angel, I cannot tell you how much I like this. Great!
