THE SCREAM

Great moment...Great action...fun to see you shootin more and more people...Does this mean you be offering up Puppies and flowers soon? wvmm

Delightful shot, Dave. It really captures a joyous moment. Warm regards...

It's a pleasure discovering those shots of your grandchildren. You have a great eye for children's photography, David.

THE! Cream de la cream, David ! full of life and joy. she is a real model for photography...

Oh, I don't know about that :)

As always, thanks. Actually I struggle with getting "decent" pictures with people in them. Since I spend a fair amount of time with these two, every now and then I get lucky.

Repeat what I said to Joe. Sometimes something worthwhile comes up, but it's more often just dumb luck than skill.

I don't know how to spell it (Laurent can help me here) but I like this for the pure joie de vivre expressed.

Really nice. The joy in their faces is evident, and it makes for a really happy photo. I like the motion blurring...it adds a nice dynamic element to the shot.

Your French spelling is perfect, David.

Joy, pure, simple.

Thanks. We all three enjoy each other's company immensely. If any of us ever grow up, it will be a shame.

Much indebted for the info. I used to speak Spanish fluently (two years in Colombia), but French is something that simply amazes me. It's so cool, but so impossible as far as I'm concerned. Two things I'd like to have mastered, and never will are music (playing an instrument) and French. Life is, indeed, too short.

I think you hit the nail right dead square on the head. Take care amigo.

I absolutely love the expression on the children, particularly the closed-eyed, lost in the moment, open-mouth laugh of the blondie.

 

 

But the joy is even more evident in the shoe.

Well, I'm not the least surprised that you would like this. I know kids are a big part of your life too. Thanks.

my favorite part of this is the impish grin on big brother. i'll bet he loves irritating the poop out of little sister. great moment!

Sounds like you may have already met my little grandson. But what is even more amazing is that his little sister knows how to dish it out pretty well herself. Take care.

they always do. the little ones start it, and then come crying when the older one gets aggravated & gives some of it back.

A splended shot David. Wondefull capture of motion and emotion. This is far from your norm of delapitaiton and decay... it is one of youtfullness and life and growth and play. Very Very excellent work my dear friend. I know you love these little crumb cruchers to peices.

wonderful image

Cream de la cream means the best...;-)) and grandchildren are exactly this( I speak Franch, so I understood) , and I think like you looking at this photograph ;-))

Great Johnny-on-the spot picture. You know what I think allows this picture to be so successful is the little girl's open mouth. It really draws the eye to the motion blurred figure, otherwise the darker background would dominate. Now your cat, on the other hand... When I first saw it I didn't notice it was a picture of an upside down cat but saw it as some sort of strage, other-worldly animal looking up at the camera. Took me a minute before the usual cat template wrested control and I saw it as you had intended. A pity in a way. Let me tell you a little story. Once, many years ago, I bought a piece of art that I thought was brilliant, somehow deeply symbolic and which resonated with my spirit. I was showing it to a friend weeks later and talking about how much I enjoyed this picture of a lizard climbing up the wall with the spires of the distant city in the background. "what are you talking about" he said, "it's a picture of a knight piece on a chess board." You know, he was right. I had never seen it that way at all and once he pointed it out, it was perfectly clear. I never liked it as much after that.

Oh that's a great comment. I love that word splendid. I've got to start using it more. And "crumb crunchers?" That's priceless. Thanks. That shining scalp of yours lights up my life.

Thanks so much for the comment and rate. You are a new face over here as far as I know, so I'll be over to see who you are ASAP.
