Nothing more gorgeous then falling asleep in a ray of sun ...
and
nothing more challenging then playing around light with your camera. (like previous one)

Seen in a narrow rather noisy shopping street at 16:25 today in his small shop.


Exp.Comp. -2/3 at 70mm

Sleep tight tonight, dream away ...

Hi Henk.

Well done on your capture here! I really like this. Your have a good composition and I also like the way the sun is shining on his face. He looks very peaceful!

Well done!

Blair

Excellent picture Henk, i'm speechless Bravo!

Hello Henk,
Such a gorgeous photograph of this young boy asleep with the light just gracing his face. You truly captured a window into this boys life. The composition, with the reflection, shadows, lines and light is just great.
Good work; I would never have guessed this was shot at iso800 as it seems so crisp.

Thanks for sharing - Casper

Nice shadow light interplay, and I love the reflection of the sleeping boy's fce in the window. Well spotted!

Ciao Henk! what a sweet boy sleeping! I can imagine you shooting at him while he didn't notice it.
Lovely un beams on the sleeping boy.
Nice picture.

Hi Henk,

Nice catch and the light is wonderful!
I first was thinking he was laying in some kind of cupboard.
But I guess you shot it from outside through the open window?
Nice one.

Greetings, Dennis

Hello Henk

What an eye to capture this moment!
"Reflection of a dream" indeed.Love the way sunlight warms his face while he take a nap,but the reflection in the window it`s beautiful.
Now,thinking,you could close a little bit the window and capture him like that(his reflection on the glass-just an idea),maybe the sound of the moving window will wake him up.
Superb scene.

My kind regards

Hello Henk,

Great shot! I really like contrast between harsh surrounding and this face - so delicate, enlighted by the sun.

Perfect moment! Great cought!
Best greetings,
Mikeo

It looks quite cramped for sleeping, and his head is on a hard wooden board! It's all in what one is used to, I guess. The light is really nice--warm and comforting. Maybe you could have cropped more off the bottom so the boy is not pushed into the top half of your frame, but I'm not sure if that would work. Just an idea. Regards, Ken.
