Surprised sight Photo

Photographer’s Note

Lalibela walk
in and out of stunning churches
carved in the stone
pilgrims praying
walls painted
walk barefoot on cold floors
covered with dry grass
candles and old crosses
and sometimes
a surprised sight...

Actually, the two canddles here are these 2 eyes, no? A masterpiece. I like the framing with this big piece of wood or stone on the right on the kid but not at the middle of the picture and this warm background. And of course, the kid is great with so big eye and such a big coat for such a little person. wonderful work. Geraldine

Good old times of Nygus are coming back...
Excellent production, Luca...
The depth (shall I say: The mystery ?) of these shades are adding a lot to the overall impressions.

To present those dark, empty spaces in a photo...?

A craftsmanship on its own...

Cool, Luca... very cool...

Hi Luca,
I loved your two sided composition; one side completely dark and other less dark which the cute kid invites...
His or her - I don't know, wide open eyes make his/her face one of the unforgetables. He is holding an extreme expression on his lovely face.
My compliments,
Burcu

Hello Luca,

I have the feeling that I saw this one or a similar one before on another website or here perhaps? Just the light that strikes me in this one. The gaze in your direction. All great!

Greetings,
Dennis

Great shot Luca, the child looks like a kangaroo caught in headlights with those big white eyes. Love the warm orange as well.

magnifique, ce portrait entre ombres et lumière. La composition est magnifique !
Bonne journée
Marie

Bonjour,
C'est un portrait, mais c'est en même temps plus qu'un portrait. Le jeu ombre&lumière sur le visage de l'enfant, mais aussi la présence de couleurs (l'ocre du fond), tout cela en fait une photo que je trouve exceptionnellement belle.
Iva

Hi Luca'
This is a very very strong picture. starting with the look of the child the colors such as the red behind his face and the unexpected right side which also has some strong stripes og light. Result is amazingly appeling Congratulations - Izzet

che bella anche questa Luca...
la cosa che mi colpisce sono questi occhioni così grandi, immensi che escono dal buio..
bellissima anche la gestione della luce!
