Charming girl, perfect composition and post-process. The result is an insight in the childhood joy and optimism!

My sincere congratulations! ... and a maximum rating ...

Eye contact between father and son during the baptism of Andrei.

Technicalities: Pentax 645, 120 roll film Ilford Delta 320 PRO, no flash used

- just the low light inside the church. The light source was the door of the

church, open at a distance of 6 to 10 meters in the back of the group.

Handheld photo at 1/15 with my beloved Pentax SMC24/2.8 (manual focus

of course). A fruitful two hours ride that night, you may browse the

dedicated folder for more proofs.

Perfect portrait with refined and original color processing. My sincere compliments!

PS. Added to my favourites!

Tripod shot, in the afternoon, with Pentax SMC 200/4 (MF lens). If you

choose this nice spot in the middle of the nature for a photo expedition or a

vaccation, look for Susai/Predeal/Prahova on Google Earth.

Perfect in every way! I would rate a 7, pitty it's not launched for rating yet.

Hello Paul,

I like it just the way it is. I like the posture of the girl, the soft light and the sensation of volume given by the gray tones.  Quite rare here on PN where everybody seems to bet on maximum sharpness and contrast.

What do you do for transition to B&W? While making the edits in Lightroom or PS,  I choose to have deep black tones here and there. I browsed your entire portfolio, quite rich in B&W photos - all these are excellent photos without having the choice for deep black at all.  Is it a matter of choice? Do you avoid post processing?

Promise to come back to see more!

Nice! Keep clicking!

William, 

What a dramatic composition you achieved here! Congratulations!

My Compliments!

Brought a big smile on my face and besides this: what a rare photo capture for the expressive look of the two subjects.

At the end of my nightwalk in Istanbul, a little bit hungry, I stopped to buy am

excellent sardines sandwich from this gentleman. 2 Euro, photorights

included...

Thanks to the old friend of mine (Pentax SMC 24mm/2,8), I achieved to

obtain a decent contrast under precarious light conditions and a nice DOF!

Well done Frank! Really like the composition and technique of this B&W portrait. A definite 7/7 from me for this one, too pitty that's not flagged to allow ratings!Thanks for sharing and hope to find more portraits in your gallery when I'll be back.
