Still in Denmark...in Skagen.

This little girl was with her family having the last glimpse of the sunset. I took a picture of her dad taking a picture of sunset which I later showed it to him. She was also viewingthe picture in the LCD.

I then pointed my camera at her. This was my first shot. I took another shot of her...smiling. I prefer this one despite the apparent softness. It compliments her tender face. Notice the golden glow of sunset on her skin.

This expression..... Wonderful !

Thanks for sharing

Excellent one Manny! Such "Mannysh" portrait, we should call your photos "Mannygraphs"! :))
I don't vare that photo is a bit soft, light makes this portrait superb! And her hair look so vivid!
Great job, TFS.
Regards

Hi Manuel, very nice portrait and you caught her with a lovely expression on her face

I love the lighting. It would be difficult to create this artificially.

Innocent expression , great portrait -
lighting and colors beautiful.

Hi Manuel,
Despite the soft focus, the sunset hue on the girl's face is beautiful. You did well composing this shot as well. Excellent work.

I have a sepia portrait that you may like.

Just a short note, and only because this is my favorite of your scandinavia photo's
You are always good with kids.
What I especialy like here is that, despite the girl has dark eyes, you can clearly see the pupil and the iris. That's something I find difficult to do still.

Hi Manny,
Been around TL for a while, but never ventured into portraiture. Seen many and admired a few portraits.
This one is really very beautiful. Seems like a very candid shot with a vey natural expression. Like you said I like the glow around her face and her eyes.

Beautiful shot Manny - if anything it's her eyes that catch you first. I would love to be able to approach people and take portrait shots but I guess it's something I will pick up on. Lovely sunset and gorgeous subject.

hey Manuel!
i love this portrait, i like the positioning of the camera and the fact that you kept it in colour. very cute girl, love the curls!

cheers

Caught at the right moment. This is a real life definition of 'a picture says a thousand word'. Nice one.

Yes I remember her at the beach and the portrait you showed me and her father on the LCD - truly lovely girl and image - The golden light from the sunset was ideel for this shot. Congratulation Manny.

Great shot Manny,
Many proffessional models cannot create that look in the eye..

now this i like an admire, as one of your portraits, i am so picky but you really have something here, very nice good job

Great photo!! She completely captures my attention. Stunning!! What a wonderful talent you have for portraits!! The DOF, lighting, and expression are perfect!! Love it!!

Hello Manuel, you did a very nice portrait of that child, and she really has a tender look :) Also the sunset brings a nice warm colour.

Good composition, very well done.

Cheers, Yan
