Innocence Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Simplicity, innocence, purity...

That's how I felt while staring at the picture in my monitor. The face of this little boy is so full of emotions. It is not of loud colors, nor of pronounced emotion but it speaks right through the heart. Maybe that's what drew me in to him. One of the best child portraits I have taken, IMHO.

See Full exif for details.

Indeed a very great portrait, a pity for these boy, I feel depth in my heart also with you, the face of this young boy speak a completely book! The eyes beg to love, but who have to this given!
Very nice job, but very sadly.

i agree, in fact one of your best portraits period. everything a great portrait should have. in my favs. (perhaps a tighter crop on top and bottom for a more traditional format would have worked better for me)

Hi Manuel,
I am very touched by your picture. His face is indeed full of emotions. It is troubling. Just enough light. Thanks for sharing this picture with us!

Hi Manuel.
Again a fabuluos portrait. I like very much the expression in the face of the little kid. And also the light (postprocessing here?).
I think that I could say much about the photo... but is too obvious.

Carlos.

Manny, indeed one amazing portrait! I see in this gaze something else, kind of tiredness (maybe it is due to the low eye-lids)...It is maybe the most amazing thing about your pictures, that you can actually see several worlds in one face, one gaze...
TFS!

you are right Manny! there is a lot of mixed emotions coming up watching this photo! There is an outcry asking for help in his face and eyes...

great portrait indeed!

Eric (dry today)

Beautiful soft colors - this photo does speak a thousand words. I like the framing (as always)... well done.
