The photo - we had stopped for a coffee in a little coffee shop/bakery in the Mayan village of Santiago, when a mama came along with her two boys. They sat on the stoop while she made her purchases. The older brother was so protective and loving to the little guy ... I just had to reach for my camera.

*Thanks for your help Bev:)

hi Trudy i feel a song coming on this is very nice shot and get the messgae everyone need s friends to stand by them tfs

Hello Trudi,

How sensitive!
I have the feeling that a front view would not have carried such strong emotion.
Sharp focus, interesting details and well positioned in the frame.

kind regards,
Bev :-)
p.s. I have emailed you about a link.

Beautiful Trudy ! The older boy's arm wrapped around his brother ,a simple gesture of how caring he is for his young protégé a sure sign of affection from big brother .Family ties are strong in third world countries perhaps even more so than we're used to in our own .Yes i watched the video my friend , isn't it a great song ,it does reflect so much what the scene is about ,a song that's very catchy and emotional too, oh i can understand you being moved when listening to the lyrics and music played by these individuals and groups from around the world,it's nicely presented my friend !
Tfs,

hi trudy.
i am not one for people pics but this is very moving.

if only everyone could put their arms around someone, then the world would be a better place.

you captured the moment nicely.

Hi Trudy,
Well observed! Excellent capture of this addoring moment a shame that the bright line "enters" the boy's face. Well you can't have it all, but overall a fine picture of these two little friends.
Hans

Ciao Trudy



Ah .. good memories, beautiful views!
that the companionship of pretty boys.
I like the photo has good definition
and is a good message!
An effective point of view to show this fine scene, rich colors and sharp details!

Greetings,

Sergio

This reminds me so much of how my two wee girls often interact, Trudy - and it has inspired me to try and catch a similar shot of them at some point. Might also be a good subject for b/w as it might add a timeless atmosphere?

Anyway, a great moment, well caught and an inspiration.
