Fantastic portrait Gaby.
the fruits on the back have a beautiful effect, to broke the white backgroud.
excellent focus and 2 fantastic eyes in the foreground.
thanks, ciao

Thank you Gaby for this wonderful portrait of a so big eyes girl! Very good work: nothing in the background but only pineapples. Only her cute sad face and pineapples. Well built. Bravo! Livia

Bonjour Gaby,
a striking portrait with the necessary elements brought together in a terriffic way.
Very good work.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Bonjour Gaby,

Trés beau portrait de cette enfant.

J'aime beaucoup le choix de l'exposition qui découpe bien l'enfant du fond.

Au niveau de la composition, ke me serais peut etre légerement déplacé vers la droite pour éloigner les ananas de la fillette (pour les caler plus à gauche de la compo).

En tout cas, c'est trés beau

Sylvain

C'est beau ça ,Gaby...
quelle belle inclinaison de la tête, et dans la courbure de la nuque et de l'épaule, cette assiette d'ananas.
Dépouillé, mais plein d'émotion, la moue de la petite y est aussi pour bcp.
Très beau

Joel

salut gaby;
beautiful portrait, the expression on the kid's face is amazing;
very good use of the flash, delicate, not aggressive, not flattering the face;
have a nice week,
jerzy

Hi Gaby,

Superb portrait, you have done a fantastic job handling these two subjects. Very nice expression on her face. TFS.

What a beautiful shot! The dominant white justly conveys this little girl's pure, innocent being. Her clothes are very clean and her two big, beautiful eyes are just amazing. Excellent composition.

Sayat

Bonjour Gaby,

C'est une très jolie photo que tu nous présentes ce matin. J'aime beaucoup ce portrait, la composition avec la coupe d'ananas en arrière plan. La petite fille a un petit air triste mais j'aime toujours autant ce type de prise avec cette lumière très pâle en fond qui fait très bien ressortir les couleurs. Très beau ! :-)

Amicalement,
Stéphanie.

SUPER Gaby!!! Ce regard timide mais déterminé en même temps, j'adore le contraste avec le fond clair, tel un tableau!
merci
bonne journée

Hi Gaby,
Beautifully captured. Good whited background, nice compo, good sharpness. Just one think: it'd be more balanced to make more distance between the girl's head and the plate of pineapples. Anyway the picture is super. Have a nice day.

Salut Gaby
Une composition originale avec les bananas diagonalmente opposes a cette enfante avec les yeux vivantes,
tres bien fait
A+
Daniel

miam Delphine donne moi un ananas, je sens leur parfum d'ici, ça me donne envie.
j'aime bien ce cadrage avec juste ce visage tristounet et les ananas.
Vanessa

Bonjour Gaby
Beau portrait de cette petite fille avec son regard tristounette. Les détails sont excellents et j'aime bien l'idée de montrer que les ananas au fond.
Salutations Nikki

Beautifull compo and face and pineapples.
Like always good work.
Regards.

Hello Gaby,
un portrait dont tu as le secret.
Une expression déjà très adulte et un brin de tristesse...
J'aime bien le dégadé dans le fond et ces ananas qui ajoute encore un peu d'exostisme.
Bien vu

Bonjour Gaby. Wow, this is a fantastic portrait. Her leaning posture is great, like she is coming right at the viewer. I like the simplistic composition so much too, with the all white background and the pile of pineapples. Great work.

Narayan

Cette image est adorable. Tu as bien reussi a capturer une expression interessante. Excellent travail, Gaby er merci pour le partage.
Mark

Salut cher Gaby,
Another beautiful, evocative shot, this girl is breaking one's heart... her lovely face and the conditions she was born into... the composition with the pineapple bowl is very good, as you focus on her face and the bowl and leave the bg burnt out. Really very beautiful!
sasa

Salut Gaby,
C'est très bien pris, ce fond très clair met en valeur le visage dont le focus est parfait, la corbeille apporte un plus à cette composition dépouillée mais superbe.

Bonsoir Gaby,
Un regard plein de tristesse pour cette petite Delphine. J'aime l'effet de sur-exposition sur le fond de l'image (est ce l'image originale ou bien as tu fait un PP?). Bon détail du plateau d'ananas pour équilibrer l'image.
Bonne soirée.
Brigitte

hello Gaby, I love her "look" and this BG is great it fills all story about this little girl, how great she has eyes, exellent one my friend
kisses

Hi Gaby - another superb portrait, and I'm always amazed; the pretty girl's expression & skin are caught by you in a magnificent way, and the little cute pineapples in perspective support this shot beautifully; thanks and regards! Daniel

Bonsoir Gaby,
Excellent how you captured her expression.The compo is great too,just a few details and a superb graphic appeal.
Greetings,

This is so cute! Her face is so expressive. I guess the background is overexposed but it looks great because it makes her face stand out even more. Good idea!

Hi Gaby. Another great shot from you with a wonderful face and perspective. Excellent sharpness and colour.

Bonsoir Gaby,
Une très très belle photo...J'aime beaucoup son regard, un peu de mélancolie dans ses yeux..
Vraiment très beau.
juste pour chipoter, je trouve le plat de fruit un peu de trop ou alors trop coller au visage.
Alex

Hi Gaby!
Wow!
Excellent portrait. Excellent composition, colors amd details. Perfect work!
TFS;-)

Superbe photo, Gaby. Mais comment fais-tu pour obtenir ce fond très clair sur lequel le visage se détache?

Salut Gaby.
Très joli et très doux ce portrait.
J'aime bien ce cadrage et cet arrière-plan clair qui fait ressortir ce visage.
Le plat d'ananas amène évidemment un plus.
Bien fait.

Beau portrait avec un arrière-plan "nature morte".

Bonjour Gaby!
ha elle est superbe celle ci et merite bien tous ces points.
Je trouve qu'il ya quelque chose de graphique dans cette image un parrallélisme entre ces cheveux et les ananas c'est bête mais visuellement c'est frappant.
Merci
Laetitia

simply stunning, a protrait of very high quality, almost a painting telling a story.

So CUTE!!!!
Ananas or no ananas ... she wants a candy :)
Fantastic shot!

Hello Gaby,

This shot is incredible. Superb! Great! I like colours and the expression of the girl. Simply superb

Salut Gaby, a surrealistic portrait, minimalist in essence and that is what makes it so powerful. Little Delphine seems to be coming out of the picture, one cannot deny her presence. An original composition and a wonderful portrait. Une tres belle photo.

Absolutely wonderful juxtaposition of the beautiful child and the plate of pineapples!
Andrew

A touching beauty in all aspects.
Chapeau !

Another favorite :-)

BdM

unbeleiveable portrait gaby. you have really brought out the character of this beatutiful child in this composition. i love the highlight of her face against the washed out background. great shot!

Q:
Did anyone call you a magician, Gaby?
That's what you do our perceptors of vision.
Pure magic.

George

dokunaklı bir bakış..
great portrait.

Exelent photo, one of my favorites

wow! really beautifull photo!

Beautiful!
Stunning!
Gorgeous!
Great composition.
Amazing pictures, keep it up!

This is an unbelievable photo Gaby!

I just love it. The expressions that children give us can be magical - you caught one of those expressions in a beautifully composed (and exposed) shot. I love the blown out background.

congrats

Linda

Bonjour Gaby,

My goodness, obviously a lot of people loved your picture as much as I do. So not much left for me to say, except that I think it's great that you captured the pineapples in the background.

Regards Els

lovely lighting and expression of the child. the overexposed background gives more emphasis on the child and the pineapples

Hello Gaby,
Wonderful frame. Perfect portre.
Poor Delphine is so beatiful.
TFS,
Have a nice day.
