This shot illustrates the power of eye contact. Not necessarily direct eye contact looking straight into camera, but eye contact with something. Here, the girl's big eyes have a huge impact. I like the fact that she is looking out of frame, at someone or something unseen.
Excellent work Caleb.

Cheers,
Ben

Superb portrait, eyes looking away. Great color as usual. Contrast with darker background amplifies visual impact. Well done.

Hi Caleb,
Impressive portrait. There is a number of things that are great on the photo and make it fabulous: the dof, the vibrant colors, the situation and her impressive look.
Congratulations.

Man you sure do some damage with that heavy Ole 24-70, C... yes indeed! The sharpness, texture and clor saturation of the boy versus the uietly dull and bkehed background is stunning. This ain't yur common to garden cute kiddie portrait, it7s something at ince deeper, darker and more resonant.
well seen!

Hi Caleb
Such a sharp and bright coloured boy only looking a bit sad I wold say.Good DOF and place of the boy in the frame.

eleparc (24059) 2007-02-27 9:57

Pity she is not looking at you for this shot! but the sharpness and the good colors compensate this!

everlasting (10894) 2007-03-01 14:18

Although she looks forlorn she jumps out from her background. Nice placement of her in the frame. (As usual)

my dear friend, where do i start to comment on your photos! they are all incredible. i dont know if your lucky to be where you are or if you are that talented to make every shot speak for it self.
this young child seems unconcerned with you and in his own world, i really like his expression. well done

A smile for your new week!

HI Caleb,

I just had a look at Dilane gallery and there’s a lot in common with your own. I mean the colours, the characters, the way to compose your photos spontaneously. This image springs to my attention, with her dubious expression and bold ceremonial decoration. The light is beautiful and make her dress shine. AM
