Walking thru the rock hewn churches
of Lalibela is a special experiences.
It's like a walk
thru the ages, back in time.

The mystic atmosphere
and the stunning architecture
are just two of the reasons
to take your time
and enjoy of the moment
such a sudden meeting...

I'm positively speachless, one of the most powerful photos I've seen here, goes straight to my favourites.
great shot, Luca, the timing is perfect, and I like a lot how the two candles in the background mirror those two big eyes, and the mood is magic. superb work, my compliments.

regards,
Kristine

Hi Luca,
Wow, those eyes are really big. You are probably the strangest thing with your camera, he's ever seen.
Superb exposure at ISO 3200. And perfect balance between natural and candle light.
Kari

Hi Luca
Incredible atmosphere. i love the warm colors. The glance of the child is also so strong and strange. You also have the best POV..
Excellent

Hi Lucas,

What an other-worldly shot. Those big, big eyes staring right out of the picture...straight into our face. The candles in the background (lovely blur) add more magic and mystery.

Great work!

Benny

Hi Luca

Great portait. The childs expression is so engaging.

Andy

I like the way you work Luca - pushing the camera to its limits - your framing is superb - this composition is simply wonderful - that big wide eyed moment - as big as the lens so close to him! Excellent!

best wishes Kev

An amazing portrait, really ! fantastic, I don't find much to add except that I'll add it to my 2nd favorites !
With admiration,
Cath.

La differenza tra un bel ritratto e un ritratto speciale e' in questa foto.
Decisamente con una marcia in piu''.

Striking image! Very well done!! I love the blue light on the face and the warm candlelight in the background. A very effective reversal of traditional portrait lighting.

Magical. Well done. Speachless.
