Hello Takero,
what a very beautiful portait it is, and wonderfully captured from great POV. Colors, sharpness, clarity, light are fantastic. Perfectly well done. Awesome shot.

mirosu (5509) 2013-01-07 5:20

Excellent photo of this lady with baby. I like very much the similar, a bit serious expression of both. Excellently optimized crop allowing both to remain a great focal point. Horizontal framing works very well here.

Angshu (51174) 2013-01-07 22:25

Hello dear Takero-san
Delightful portrait with fantastic resolution & quality (as always) showing the fine head dress & expression on the faces of the mother & the child. What a beautiful shot to start the year with!
Best Regards
Angshu

Morning Takero,
what a charming portrait you have posted! I like the identical outfits of the mother and daughter, it makes me think of passing tradition through the generations...
Very beautifully captured, wonderful colors and ideal sharpness.
Well done my friend!

ourania (12367) 2013-01-10 10:46

Hello dear Takero,
a lovely portrait of mother and daughter, so close physically but apart in their thoughts. After your note, they are probably both thinking about the debut but from a different point of view. The picture has marvellous lighting and sharpness and my favourite type of traditional hats (from what I've seen in your pictures) fill the frame superbly. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely day,
Ourania
