HI Gerrit!
A great portrait of this boy.The extreme close up works well here to see his jpu and white teeth so big.

Hello Gerrit,
This might be the most tightly cropped close-up ever posted on TE, but I like it. I didn't have time to get in such close contact with Togo, but further north among the Sahel countries I met a lot of genuinely friendly people giving me big smiles reminding me of this.
Best regards,
Gert

Ciao Gerrit,
WOW! Ritratto bellissimo, la scelta del taglio così stretto porta il sorriso e lo sguardo di questo ragazzo del Togo dritto dritto nei nostri cuori. Bravissimo.
Un caro abbraccio

Dag Gerrit,

Van een macro gesproken, this is wel van heel dicht genomen.
Maar zeker niet slecht met de mooie witte tanden.
De ogen spreken voor zich.
Mooi foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit een wit besneeuwd Vlaanderen,
John.

Bonjour Gerrit,
J'aime ce très gros plan et ce franc sourire. On ne peut pas désespérer de l'homme quand on voit un si large sourire.
Amicalement
Jacques

HI Gerrit

This photo is priceless. I hope this little guy got to see the finished product. He's beautiful. The smile is so broad, and so innocent. I hope this little boy's life becomes as bright as his smile. The tight framing was excellent. TFS and I wish you a beautiful evening

Warm regards
Lisa
