hi ghislain
i love the moment you have captured here, what a marvellous expression on your father in law's face while he plays with his grandchild. super composition and a great moment.

Very nicely lit.

very good work , nice
well done :D

Very nice portait, Ghislain.
I specially like the good lighting.
The smile on the man's face is not just a smile; it's a proud and happy grand-father's smile.
Congrats and a happy life to you all.
Groet,
Joop.

Wonderful portrait in some action. Like a music-composer playing piano; great!!!

Quel beau portrait de ton beau-père et quelle expression de tendresse tu as su capturer. J'aime bien la lumière très douce qui illumine son sourire. Je vois quelques cercles de différentes teintes de gris autour de sa tête mais cela ne dérange pas trop. Bravo!

Désolé, mon sac de sourire vert est vide pour la journée!

Beautiful image of your father-in-law. Great b/w portrait, full of happines.

Wow! Portrait superbe Ghislain! Tres reussi. Le controle de la lumiere et des ombrages sont bien equilibres.

Exciting galleries you have, and of course your PS experience. Be nice to see What the original looked like, before PS, just had to workshop...tfs
