A moment in time..., a photo from Shaanxi, Central

Photographer's Note

Happy Mother's Day:

This was taken within the Great Mosque complex. I thought it was particularly appealing this quiet moment went on for several minutes as she was adjusting the white cap just before the kid was ready to enter the religious class or the madrasah. To me there's a lot of attentive tenderness, bonding and love in this between mother and child sharing the intimate moment. I like the space around them and the way its darkness envelopes them. I think this captures the mood perfectly for what I wanted and thanks for viewing,,

Hello Abmdsudi,
A special moment has been well seen and captured here. The sunlight on some of the leaves is lovely. I did wonder whether it was worth cropping the left up to the tree although it would make it a square format. Fabulous work of an unusual and beautiful subject - congratulations.
Kind Regards, Ann

Salam Abmdsudi
Very nice & intimate scene...light was falling from the far end & hence the picture is generally in shade & in low light conditions. Would have been better if there was a bit of light, but this being a candid shot, its asking for too much i guess. You've brought out the mood well & for sure this is a fine addition to the Mother's Day theme!
Best Regards
Angshu

Hello Abmdsudi,
You show us a fine moment of motherly love while being sufficiently discreet so that you don't make us feel like intruders. The bushes, trees and the brick wall surround the couple nicely and the light falls very pleasantly through the trees. Although the light is fading, the woman's face is still clearly visible.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Abmdsudi,
a very tender scene, very well caught, I like the attitude of this mother fitting the white cap to her son before entering to his religious class.
The greenery that surrounds them, and the wonderful light, they create a vital, beautiful, and very attractive image.
The image has a lot of feeling.
It is a splendid composition.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Abmdsudi,
It is nice to see the different culture and religion in China. I do love the calm and peaceful feeling that transpire from this shot as well as the tenderness of a mother to a child. the way teh foreground bush cover up half of the mother and son give a sense of us being and outsider looking into the intermate relation of this mother and son. You managed well the detail consider the low light. Thanks. A great contribution to Mother's Day.

Hello Abmdsudi.
Magnificent and beautiful composition, I think you've captured masterfully intimacy and affection of the mother with her son, whose image is perfect for the celebration of the day.
The quiet atmosphere with so much greenery and the brightness of the sun on the leaves giving a variety of light-dark areas make the image more intimate. Excellent work very appropriate.
Have a nice day.
Best wishes.
Luis.

Hello Abmdsudi,
the shot looks like to be taken from a paparazzi,as to be hidden between the bushes. Lovely shot with the mother to take care for the cup of her son,before he comes in to madrasah.Excellent snapshot with good light management.

Salam Abmdsudi.Lovely moment depicting a mother's care and affection. And what a beautiful setting, the deep shade on a hot day.Lovely light which not only accentuates the foliage but also her gesture. All that nurturing which in many cases around the world ends up in lives lost in wars and disputes. I remember before Bosnia fell apart, the mothers of Sarajevo marched together affirming that they did not want the war to come to them but it was all in vain as the men had other plans. Salam. Klaudio.

kato (6801) 2011-05-12 2:50

Hello admdsudi,

You're capturing well this daily life shot by a good composition and excellent tone, so it's taken in natural atmosphere and natural love that mother has in the child is transmitted from this scene.
And, surrounding green draws out a good effect for the whole, I think.

Regards,
mikio

Hi Abmdsudi

Perfect light management, just enough light to show the action, keeping everything else in the deep shadow. Vibrant color hues and high sharpness. Well done.

Warm regards

Salam Abmdsudi,
congratulations! Great shot of a mother putting straght the skullcap of her son. The only disturbing detail is the tilt of the picture. I have made a WS to correct it. I hope you like it.
Kind regards,
