Indeed, this is my grandson Lucas (6), yesterday - ready to go to school to celebrate summer. Instead of going on a schooltrip the 4 to 6 year olds have a funfilled day at school.
I have chosen this picture to welcome Timo to this world:
Timo van der Ven
Parents: Bianca and Tjeerd van der Ven
Born on April 7, 2008
Time: 03.08 h.
Length 52 cm.
Weight 3910 gr.

Congratulations Bianca and Tjeerd!

As soon as Bianca has some time on her hands she will join TL again (I already picked a great picture ^-^ - little boy with big guitar.....)

I was not planning on uploading but good news is too good not to share - so you have to have some patience for me to come back to you after your reaction.

Have a lovely weekend,

Els

Hello hendrika

nice expression for this portrait good light and composition too. too bad for the sharpness, it's really to blurred imo..

TFS anyway

Olivier

Hi Els

I think the moment you have caught is excellent and I echo your congratulations Bianca and Tjeerd.

However, I'm afraid I have to agree with Olivier on the overall quality, the sharpness isn;t there - sorry :-(

But yes, a great moment to capture.

Hi Els,Beautiful photo,congratulation.
Best regards,
Ralf

Wonderful choice for welcoming Timo !


have a great weekend,

Wow, what an excitement Lucas shows here.
Staat ie naar de pas geboren baby Timo te kijken ?
Really a great looking portrait, Els.
Jammer dat je toch geen Olympus E 510.Is ! hebt gekocht, had ie nog scherp geweest ook, toch ?
Had jij Lucas zelf zo toegetakeld ? Zo kan ie toch niet naar de GROTE school, toch ?
Troost je, van afstand niks mis mee, hoor.
Groetjes ven Jan

Hi Els...
Lovely expression in his face...
Have a nice weekend...

Gefeliciteerd met je kleinzoon Timo!!

Hi Els:
A wonderful expression You caught on Lucas face, full of fun and joy,sounds like he had a great day and so did you as well... this would have n=been a classic because of the nice light quality the close crop and happy vivid colours.. but just a little sharpening was needed and I think you just forgot about it ..but even like that its very attractive... thanks Elas ...Roman:0)

Leuk dat je zo gek op je kleinkinderen bent en dat je dat ook laat zien,dat kan ik zeer waarderen Els.

Hello Els,

What a wonderful idea and what a wonderful day for the children!
Excitement and pleasure is oozing from his face! This young face epitomises all that we feel about childhood happiness and innocence.

A really delightful shot! Sharp, detailed and expertly cropped!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Excellent tight close-up! I love the expression here -- one for the "Joy" theme as well as for the Clothing theme :)

Another grandchild? If so congratulations Oma. A lovely joyous expression you captured Els but I must agree with Olivier and Richard regarding the sharpness. Ithink a little less bright than the workshop Manuj did with the same amount of sharpness would be perfect.

Hi Els,
Your handsome grandson is showing his best clown expression with his warm smile and big blue eyes.
Vibrant colors with excellent sharp details to this striking portrait.
Regards, Tom

Hello Els
how are you dear?
this is acute kid with lovely colours on to him.
nice expression catch, i have tried to adjust sharpness till its limit. lets see how helpful it can be. i have done a small workshop, i hope you dont mind.

wow Els
Another masterpiece.
I like it the way it is .
The slightly lighter image gives it a very movie like feel as if shot on 35mm film.
Superb expression and angle.
One of your best.

Wat een mooi eerlijk kinder portret.
Gr Jos

Olá Els,

Wonderful colors and an excellent portrait of this lovely child!
Congratulations and TFS,

Sergio
on saturday

I'm impressed, he was born on my birthday. Think there is a problem with your figures. If he is 6 then his birth year wouldn't be 2008.
Love the energy that you captured, he is having a great time.

Fun portrait and great timing on the capture. What joy you've managed to freeze in time and present here.
Maybe a little close for the lens to do it's best work but still very effective and lovely.
Good work,
