Late for class Photo

Photographer’s Note

Novice monks sleep together in dormitaries. I was having a chat with the teacher while all the novices where getting their books and were going upstairs to the classroom.
This litle one was the last of his class and smiled a bit nervously to his teacher who was telling him to get upstairs.
A nice little moment...

Hello Steve, a small jewel this image .....
for the light, the color, this smile they
know by intuition that in the face of the boy,
this movement of the gait, this stairs that
is not known where it goes and especially
for that it is a photo with " soul " ......felicidades!

Un saludo.

Nicely caught moment with the moving, smiling pupil, and the stairway around the corner. Very well managed light, and the color tones are beautiful.
cheers,

Wow, this is a picture I really love, so beautiful! The colors on the wall, the darkness in the classroom, the movement in the little monk.... everything together makes a great picture!

SPlendid one, Steve. Deep, deep colors, almost thickly laid down like oil paints, I love it. Once again I am dumbfounded by the lack of appreciation for something like this!
An instant FAV.

Dag Steve,

Lovely deep dark blue and brilliant light on the stairs just around the corner (probably showing the boy where to go). I like his smile too, a bit mischieveous, a bit playful...maybe he's late, but he doesn't mind terribly!

Lovely moment, very spontaneous and intimate to me, I love the way you caught his movement. That blue is wondrous, simply. The light too, and the diagonal compo and those stairs and the textures and...everything.
Fantastic work, Steve.

Warm regards
Michèle

So cute ! Another story, so skillfully told - lovely dark tones, beautiful atmosphere... I really enjoyed visiting your gallery again, plenty of excellent photos, from far away places or from very close to your home. I need to learn from your example !

Admiringly,
Cath.
