Hi Teresat,
Excellent moment caught, lovely light, it does not detract from overall shot the hands are not in any way detracting from this image of loneliness of a lost boy, nice tones and a superb B&W. Best wishes

Very good portrait. The light varies well between top amd bottom of the shot and the fact that the face is half hidden in the shadows gives a pleasing mood...
Overall the image is sharp and a generally plain black BG works well to isolate your subject. There are a couple of 'spikes' of something behind his shoulder (to our left) that could be cloned out - otherwise a splendid portrait.

Hello Teresa,

The emotion shown on this boy's portrait is so overpowering that I did not even notice the cut appendage as you mentioned in your Note. I do like the dark tone atop, there is good contrast. What could he be thinking - one wonders. This is a sensitive and artistic work much to my liking. My best regards dear.

Bom dia Teresa,
A lembrança de um amigo que se perdeu não podia ser mais triste, nem mais comovida. Nem chega a ser um grito de dor. Mas é pungente.
Por tudo isso não vou pontuar, embora lhe diga que é uma imagem magistral.

Hi Teresat..I love the way you work with light...you are an artist as well as a photographer. Your light is great. If you want to play more with it use the Adjustment Brush and paint with different exposures in different parts of the shot...if you have any trouble email me at: [email protected] You will need at least CS4 to do this...

Ciao Teresat


Lindo portrait desta criança,
O gradiente escuro acima da cabeça que vem
descendo uma leve luz ao olhos da criança
foi de um bom gosto e com imagem de alta
qualidade.
Uma captura de um mood bem pensativo.
Belíssimo B&W

Saudações,

Dear Teresa
Worry face with that special light effects you've provide by pp works creates excellent "lost" mood
The dark side of above the frame is looks like the shelter which the kids probably search for

Olà Teresa!
Very nice portrait, with splendid light.
Excellent details. Your picture excites....
looking at this young boy I read in his wonderful, dark eyes some sadness. I feel sad me too. I think too much children are suffering in the world.
Congratulations my friend for your great work!
Ciao! vanda

Ciao Teresa,

l'abiltà del ritrattista stà nel cogliere l'attimo con la massima espressione.
Gli occhi ci sono, e dicono che il ragazzino è a mille chilometri di distanza.
Ottimo lavoro!

dear Teresa,
an excellent capturing of mysterious face and figure of the boy at moment,
we have both cheerful and sorrowful, manic and depressed, and lighted and dark sides in not only deep minds but also superficial expressions...
the boy in adult's soul, and the aged adult in boy's spirit are couple of ambivalent natures of us and in this anxious atmosphere,
thank you for your splendid shot,
Akihisa

In this instance I don't think the chopped fingers is a problem at all - the composition of the shot flows beautifully and the subject's eyes are in a very powerful part of the frame.

Your light effect here works reasonably well, although I would think, perhaps dim the reflective part of his arm and knee as well.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

I am so surprised that i have left this image without a comment , sometimes i wonder where is my head yep , this is one of your best work my friend ,the boy's expression is priceless , captured in the shortest instant , a pose like this you do not get the chance to click at so often ,you did ok to catch the moment and fix whatever needeed be fixed up in PP later ,i do react just like you ,doing portrait candidly is no easy thing because there is no time to set up anything , i push in the button and hope for the best outcome , hi hi !
Well depicted in your note i also see emptiness in the young kid's stare , melancholy shows through , your B&W treatment is so judicious , in fact what medium can substantiate and evidence such state of mind in a superior way , hum none else can do it better than B&W ,i congratulate you for having made that proper choice . Worry not about the light ,it has exposed/brightened enough of the BG to be intersting and in such a manner that what i am able to see reflects the ambience/atmosphere thus created , nice overall feel ,a very likable image , be proud of this one my dear,
a lovely photograph presented in respect with the loss of your friend , a great tribute to that person ,
Um grande abraço ,
Carol

An expression from a child is beautifully caught in this frame. Monochrome is providing nostalgic mood and luminosity is amazing. A wonderful protrait, well done my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Strong emotions with heart-touching looks of this cute boy, Teresa!
Another wonderful contribution from your side.
I like the way the child is intensively busy in some thoughts - May be they are positive or negative - One can't judge.

Anyways, you managed to catch the message you wanted to convey in this picture.
Well done!

Um abracos,
Paras
