children Facing the Wind (Candid with background removed)

Very impressive portrait capture of this young lady here, great light and amazing contrast and tone, I have added you to my interesting people list

 

 

Wishing you all of the best my friend

 

Nice tones ... I like the slight motion blur in her hair as well.

I like the full delicate profile of the child Joseph, and her hair that are nicely taken aside to reveal her beautiful features. Very good exposure ,use of B/W conversion and well placed on the frame.

Thanks to all of you. I'm particularly flattered because I just put this shot in my portfolio and haven't even decided whether to post it for critique. I'm glad you like it, and I thank you again for taking the time to leave comments. Warm regards...

Very refreshing image. I love the capture of the tones in her hair and the pensive expression on her face. Nice one. GJ

Thanks for the comment. Appreciated as always. Regards, Joe

Wonderful portrait!. I love it.

Thank you, Teresa. Warm regards, Joe

Hair has a wonderful feel in this one...thanks for the interest in my recent work, its a nice confidence boost..

Nice light and show-motion image of "staring-the -future"of this cute little lady.

Thank you both very much.

Thanks for comments

What a great positive attitude, full of self confidence, wonderful portrait!

Beautiful portrait well composed

Beautiful portrait. Generally I don't like the horizontal frame for the portraits, but in this case it matches well with this photo, because it let see the long hair raised by the wind, that makes the final touch. Best regards. Ciao! Glauco

Thank you both for your kind and encouraging comments. Regards...

I couldn't agree with you more. In fact, this image was shot as a vertical. But when I studied the lovely curve of her widnblown hair, I thought, aha, if I crop carefully this might work better as a horizontal. So, we agree on both points. Thanks so much for your comment. Regards.

Beautiful soft feeling. Nice old style chemistry.

 

You are a masters of portrait, you obtain excellent expressions full of naturalness. Good work. Best wishes. Vicente.

Joseph, this is a very nice side portrait. Very nice composition. I like the mouvement in her hair. GREAT picture! A+

Hi Joe. The comments already made pretty well cover my thoughts in regard to elements of composition and technique... especially since I'm surely no expert. So, what I can add is that I, too, am very fond of this image. The expression and facing into the wind remind me of my granddaughter. I think she and this girl could be friends! Regards, David

Thank you all for taking time to comment. I appreciate your kind words very much.

The horizontal framing gives space for the hair to blow and flutter. I also like the great dark space in front, which also adds some room to breathe. Nice tones. Very nicely done, Joseph.

A great portrait, beautifully composed and framed. Well done Joseph. Best regards

 

Many thanks for your encouragement.
