Speaking eyes Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hiking around Mahabalipuram I saw him. Like 100 meters later still I couldnt believe what I´ve seen. I made a U-turn and when I met him I realize I was right: No comments eyes that I wanna share with you.

Le ví dando un paseo en bicicleta por los alrededores de Mahabalipuram. Cien metros después no podía creer lo que había visto así que di media vuelta, le encontré justo para darme cuenta de que estaba en lo cierto: Unos ojos sin comentarios que quiero compartir con vosotros.

Such amazing colors you captured here and an interesting moment overall. The childs eyes are so powerful and I like the fact the mother isn't looking at the camera but seems to be also looking at the eyes, where our focus should be.

Unbelevable eyes. Very hard to tell the colors of them without this photo. Good composition.

I've lived in Tamil Nadu for 20 years, and i've never seen any Indian with such striking eyes! Its almost unnatural, and its amazing how you could just walk past a stranger, come back and shoot a photo. As an Indian, i would definitely be shy/embarassed to do so. Maybe thats the case with every photographer with their home country citizens and races. Excellent photo! If it werent for your comments, I would be inclined to believe that this boy probably has some strange eye disease, and is waiting in a Eye hospital queue.

Very touching portrait of that young kid - I like the amazing eyes - very well spotted Miquel - thanks for letting us see this fine work.

La verdad ahora he descubierto esta foto tuya, y no me he podido resistir. Vaya expresividad que has capturado aquí con tu foto. Qué mirada! Qué color!. Muy buen encuadre. Me gusta que ocupen toda la foto e incluso se salgan de ella. La veo un pelín poco definida, poco nítida.
Todavía no me he lanzado a hacer fotos de personas y rostros. Creo que me costará. A veces creo que es un poco violento. Quizá solo será empezar...
Esta me encanta.

Todavía no había visto este retrato.
Que pasada!, parece que lleva lentillas de colores.
Menos mal que te diste la vuelta, gran captura.
PD. Me he dado cuenta que muchas fotos tuyas tiran al magenta, mira el WS.

Striking eyes indeed... Green eyes are more frequent there, it seems to me - and the expression, ... just childish !

Hola Miguel,

Tenías toda la razón para dar la media vuelta. Esos ojos no solo son preciosos, sino cautivadores. Aparte la expresión de la niña denota bastante impacto. Una se pregunta en que pensamientos tan profundos ella está sumergida.

Gracias por compartir esta foto!
