[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Every year, from when he was a baby, we photographed this boy, then one of the photos was chosen and made into a Christmas card the family sent to their friends.
Every year I have to come up with a different idea.
I particularly like this one, it is the same electrical Father Christmas as Previous HERE.
The little boy became so fascinated and involved, stroking the beard, holding Santa's moving hand gently, looking deep into the kind, artificial eyes. So full of that wondrous marvel only children or very old people seem to posses, it looked like they were having a secret conversation. All the little secrets...

May your w-e be filled with joy, thanx for visiting, Magda.


FOR THE WHOLE of the MONTH OF DECEMBER I'LL ONLY UPLOAD IMAGES THAT HAVE GOT TO DO WITH WINTER AND CHRSTMAS.

Brilliant. Beautifully done. Every element contributes to making this top notch from lighting which models the form of the boy's face to colours in their matching clothes.

Hi Magda,

A beautiful christmas card,and a great catch of the boy´s expression.Very well presented too.

Excellent Magda. The expression that you've captured tells a story on it's own, which is further enhanced by your note. I really enjoyed the other photo with this Father Christmas too - it must bring out the best in your subjects!

So cute Kid..
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful child, full of innocence. You've captured the Christmas spirt so nicely here. I like the misty vingetting.

Your talent is obvious. You have a duty to use it well. Looks like you are doing just that.

Lovely portrait, Magda. The eye contact from both are amazing.
Big click.

Hi Magda,
this is again so lovely. It seems they are talking to each other and the little boy is telling what Santa has to bring at christmas.
I also like the soft frame, excellent work - as usual, TFS, bye bye

nicely capture magda. the feathered border works well and of course the usual magda touch.

Technically perfect image, very heart-warming and it has something from the past, if you know what I mean.
Bravo!

you're simply great, magda, this boy has amaizing eyes, he seems like talking with Santa here... and Sanata to him:)) I don't know how, but it remainds me of my childhood... probably the way you PP, the colours... great feeling you offer here! thanks!
