Looks like a decisive moment to me. The handoff from one generation to the next (or, well, the one after the next). A very sensitive photo. Beautifully composed. Excellent scan, as well. And a touching tribute to the people of Sichuan. What is the plight of that little girl today . . . ? Best, -Hugh

Hi Benny. Sweet composition showing the bond between the two and such cute hairstyle(the girl's). You must have quick reactions- well done.Yes, we are all thinking of the Chinese people whose preparations for a time of joy have turned to sorrow. And so many children gone, loved like this little one. Regards. Klaudio.

Een mooi moment Benny dat je heel mooi vastgelegd hebt. Ik lees vele verhalen in deze foto, de interactie tussen oma en kleinkind is bijzonder levendig weergegeven. Vooral omdat het handje nog net niet naar de chewing gum grijpt is perfect. Mooi werk en mooi eerbetoon voor een ramp die alweer veel en veel te veel slachtoffers heeft gemaakt. Sabine

Hi Benny,
Thanks for showing us how grandmothers are taking care of almost everything.Those generation who are mostly retired on the background and almost forgotten,what are we doing with our kids without them?I think they need more attention and dedication cause they really deserve it or have you also forgotten who mostly gave you some pocket money everytime you needed as a kid?Great shot though!
Regards from Spain,Lance

hi Benny

Very powerful portrait shot of grandchild with her guardian. As commonly seen in Asia, grannies are often natural baby-sitters for the family, unpaid and 24 hours on the job. Need to be in god health, strong and good-reputation too :)

tfs, bill
