The wish to all humanity of a tender care since the birth until death.
Is great to share it.


"When I was a boy
A god often rescued me
From the shouts and the rods of men
And I played among trees and flowers
Secure in their kindness
And the breezes of heaven
Were playing there too.

And as you delight
The hearts of plants
When they stretch towards you
With little strength

...............
................


................
I understood the stillness above the sky
But never the words of men.

Trees were my teachers
Melodious trees
And I learned to love
Among flowers.

I grew up in the arms of the gods".



'When I was a boy', poem by FRIEDRICH HÖLDERLIN (1770-1843, one of Europe's greatest poets
Translated by David Constatine.

Ola Teresa,
A sweet charming portrait of the boy. The woman's lips on the top right of the frame add mystery, the graininess is effective for b&w, and lighting is good. Best regards

Hi Teresat...this is a nice, creative shot...the cropping makes the picture unique and lets us focus on the boy's eye very well..nice work.

Roger

Bom Dia, dear Teresat.
The poem suits the tendernes in the picture very well.
'Love me tender', a beautiful song of Elvis, came into my mind, when he was still with his both feet on the ground.
Have a joyfull evening, dear Teresat

So beautiful Teresa.
This half portrait is done with an excellent way and superb POV.
I like the b&w choise as expreses the model's mood and feelings.
Poem and note is really marvelous
My congratulations my friend
Best and warm regards

somebody who can make a poem out of roof tiles and broken windows is bound to be the Queen of mood shots.. be careful someone might become jealous...!!!
the play of lines and lights is just spectacular and the expression of marvel and curiosity as well as total abandon in the security of mother's tenderness are so masterfully caught ! henri cartier bresson would be proud of you!ac

What a sweet and warm shot, Teresa! Wonderful posting and note, as ever.

Ola teresat

Com certeza, o que voce escreve é pura realidade.
Um excelente portrait, eu gosto do bom
uso do b/w aqui e da forma de olhar desta inocente
criança. A textura é boa e um belo close!
Trabalhou bem com a luz!
Parabens

Hi Teresat,
Fantastic compo. The curve line between the eye and the ear of the boy and the lips of the mother is very beautiful, and a lesson of composition: it shows and hides, and added poetry and mistery to the photo.
Excelent also the light and the b/w work. Excelent note. Congrats for the great work and thank you for sharing it.

hi Teresat

Abstract portrait is showing so mystically on your composition here with partially hidden faces. Such a mood on 'tender'. Very interesting note.

Hi Teresat,

Thoughts are in journey..throughout life..
It begins in birth.. and never ends..life fades off, yet the soul remains..
An invisible hand always stretches at us... when tears roll down in us..
Excellent image that opens hearts..

Strongly agree with amcolli!
Your shot is powerful, intense and delicate at the same time!

Boa tarde Teresat,

Muitas vezes as palavras dos homens espelham a ignorância: de si mesmo, do próximo, do universo, de Deus.

Precisamos evoluir muito - interiormente - para que as palavras dos homens - as nossas próprias palavras - possam ser compreendidas por cada um de nós.

Belíimo portrait! Magnífico corte!
Parabéns.

GRande abraço,
Sergio

Hi Teresat,

I love the light and shadow control used for this photo. Although I only see half the face of the boy but there is no doubt this photo fully illustrates your title. Great photo.

Hi Teresat,
Beautiful picture and composition,
Excellent POV. and details,
Very nice contrast and B & W picture..
Excellent done.
My compliments
Michel

This is an instance, where most all rules are broken, but yet the photo is SO powerful, SO thought provoking and emotional that it blasts through all the so called "rules". I absolutely love this shot for that reason! Sometimes it's not about the technical, but about the heart!

Linda

Hi Teresat,
You teach us lots of things, among which tendress and love
Your portrait is perfect. B/W adds a lot to its sharm
Well done
