day 1 - planet Earth..

Captain's log.. day 1...
we are landed at 18.30 of 8 of march.. local time!
our weight is now 4 kg..
our assigned code name is Elisa!!
everything is OK... mission proceeds..
now.. we are executing..
a long and complete backup of all systems..
;))



the first day.. on planet Earth.. for the little Elisa..
in a day.. it’s just enough to be born.. inst it?!?
and after this long and strong effort..
it’s right to have a plesant rest..
Elisa is well concentrated to this goal..
tomorrow.. maybe tomorrow, my darling..
you’ll have all the time to explore the world!!
sleep quiet.. little angel..
your mission on our planet is just begun!! ;))

Mood for this shot, as obvious, is... Elisa!!


Comments and critics are welcome!

Elisa.. the little Elisa.. It’s the daughter of one of my best friend.. Michele.. and of course .. of the beautiful Pamela.. his wife.. ;)) Michele is as a brother for me.. then.. i truly consider Elisa as my first niece!! Image is taken behind the glass of the nursery.. with so much people within.. really difficult to have a big result, this is the best i was able to take!!

Hello Marco,
One of the best portraits of a Newborn I have ever seen - so unusal and original.
Perfectly composed! Title and note are great :)
All the best to little Elisa and her parents:)
It's a very touching picture for me because I am waiting for my sister's baby - she's due in 3 days:)
Thanks a lot for this one, I love it!:)

Congratulations first to the parents of Elisa, and th to you for such a wonderful photo
María José

Bonjourno Marco !
I like a lot this unusual composition and mood . I find just a bit too strong the yellows here. Silke saw the same elements as me. Warm humanity against the cold and aseptic environment.
Cheers!
and Congratulations to the new parents

Hi Marco,
As a good fairy you leaned over her cradle and with your magic wand (Nikon D-80),you present her to Treklens where she will make the turn of the world before opening the eyes!

Sleep quiet, Élisa, your guardian angel named Marco will show you the all the beauty and the poetry of the world at your awakening!

Very beautiful and touching photo! All my congratulations! Annie

Very strong picture. Has the planet goes today, she will need a lot of rest to pass thrue.

Jean

Hi Marco,

Congratulations! Both on this picture and on having a "niece" added to your family.
The effect and colours in the picture go well with your note - a wonderful combination.
And who can resist that beautiful face - your effort really paid off!

Welcome to planet Earth Elisa.

Fabulous title to really makes this delightful capture stand out
Adorable capture in itself, of course. I love the way the little one is dwarfed by all the big things about her -- a little bit of humanity in a sea of metal -- fabulous!

Hi Marco,
Extraordinary moment. First day of long distance runnig.
Impressive...
Thanks for thought provocating notes...
Selahattin E

Il meglio che sei stato capace di fare?!?!
Ma se è una foto MAGNIFICA! :-) Luce, taglio, global mood...
E poi, quanto è vero che un testo ben scritto, avvincente, come pure una musica adatta, completano un'opera visuale che "parlerebbe" già da sola...
la famosa complementarità dei linguaggi artistici... vabbè, non è il caso di salire in cattedra!
Complimenti davvero, e auguri per la nuova esploratrice interstellare!
Ciao, Antonella

Hi Marco,
4000g is rather big new-born infant. the mother may experienced a difficult delivery...or a Cesarean section.
anyway, her sound sleep in a bed of the hospital like in a space ship's room...in my feeling and thinking, her best position is by her mother. late system of the obstetrical department is wrong.
thank you,
Akihisa

An angel has arrived. How sweet and beautiful. A lot of blue color surrounding her. It is said that "Blue beckons our spirit with the vibrations of faith into infinite distances of spirit. Signifying faith to us, for the Chinese it symbolized immortality". Congratulations!

Lorena

Bonjourno Marco,
Congratulations with this new life! A very special capture, I won't repeat my fellow members about the colour tone, but what I like this the special POV and contrast between warmth of the baby and the cold steel of the beds. Excellent posting mi amico!

Hi Marco,

Wonderful. Like how you isolated her in the right part of the composition. And not just in placement, but also in colour toning. Very nice!!

Hi Marco

I love the sepia like blue colour tones. Good sharpness & a nice warm cold colour opposition between the warm skin tones of the baby & the cold blue grey. Tfs!

Brilliant shot, excellent colorw,
composition and presentation.
A real creative and original POV.
Congratulations.

Ciao Marco, gran bel taglio e splendida esposizione, immagine molto dolce , accompagnata da una strugente canzone di Elisa Toffoli, grazie, bravo, ciao Silvio

Bella foto, Marco!
L'ambientazione, il taglio, e i colori fanno pensare a qualcosa di surreale, da film di fantascienza.
Auguri a te e ai tuoi amici fraterni.

Marto, e´davvero bella, mi piace molto la compo ed anche i colori.
Grande tributo al primo erede del trio....
che non a caso e´una "donna"...

Rarely does a photo evoke so much emotion. I think the way you cropped this is ingenius! A dead on shot would not have had the impact that this has had! Love how her little face is just visible in the space! Really a great shot Marco!
