Inside a basket Photo

Photographer’s Note

Some of you will remember my previous post with A mother with her 2 kids from atop of a pagoda.
After sometimes, I went down and here is a closer view of the little boy sitting inside a basket, carried by his mother.

Dear Marilyn,
It's the light here what caught my attention. If it is landscape or portraits, everytime it's the light which is the most important thing. A landscape is already there, you only have to wait. With a portrait you need interaction with the person, or in this case the child. A smile, full of live, full of joy, sitting in a basket 1000% better than the workshops, a beautiful tanaka, stunning colour contrast in red/brown....but at the end it's the light what makes the photo.
I don't comment that often your images, sorry for that, but this one is to good to let it pass. Biggest compliment i can give you that i wish it was mine..!!!
A beautiful photo.
Regards, Henk
p.s.
Glad you shoot in RAW, so much better than an ordinary jpg.

Bonjour Marilyn
J'espère que tu vas bien. Il est sympa ce petit bout de chou dans son panier. L'air espiègle est drole. La lumière est très belle.
Amicalement

Hello Marilyn,
very cute moment in the quality of a portrait and it is nothing else as a portrait in an unusual way. Wonderful composition a bit out of centre in lovely sharpness and his smile (also in the workshop) is the final winner. Like Henk I love the light here, the line of shadow of the basket on him makes it so real.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Marilyn.

This is such a nice picture! Just from looking at your other pictures of this, you have really given us something to enjoy. The 'Complementary Photo', for me, tells a really good story of this family and their daily life. The little boys expression in the 'Different version' is just great! You captured that very well!

As for this picture, I also really like his expression and the whole idea of carrying your child in a basket! The colours are just fantastic with the golden tones. Also your depth of field is great and adds something more to this picture!

Thank you so much for these wonderful pictures. You have made me really want to go to Myanmar!

Blair

hi Marilyn, who couldnt fail to stop by this one, but its not about a cute kid, it has to be more than that and here its about the light. I think the framing could have been more ambitious but you have captured a fine image.

PixelTerror (86032) 2008-04-09 0:59

Salut Marilyn,
Ma premiere reaction est qu'elle me fait chaud aux yeux celle ci, cette lumiere et la dominante qu'elle projette sur la photo sont tres agreables, le portrait est aussi bien fait, plein d'energie positive et avec la profondeur de champ appropriee.
Bonne journee JY

vincz (19039) 2008-04-09 1:20

Ah le voila donc notre petit bnhomme de la photo precedente. Superbes tons chauds, super choix de profondeur de champ. J'aime beaucoup les textures avec le tanaka en particulier. Tres belle photo.

John_F_Kennedy (30689) 2008-04-09 5:22

An expressive face has been captured very well.
Best wishes,
Achim

hispic (7399) 2008-04-10 3:19

Salut Marilyn,

I like really this beautiful red color tone, of course the expression of the little boy putting thanaka cream on his nose and cheeks.
The blur of the background by Sigma lens feels a little double-line blur, though it is trifling. But definitely a successful shot.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

patdeph (17452) 2008-04-10 3:51

bonjouir Marilyn
tu as bien fait de prendre ce petit bonhome dans le panier!Il est trop mignon avec son tanaka sur les joues et sur le bout de son nez,son sourire est craquant!On retrouve la belle et chaude lumière dorée de la précédente photo,et j'aime bien le sol légèrement flouté qui fait bien ressortir l'enfant et le panier!
Amitiés.
Pascale

danos (31716) 2008-04-10 4:35

Salut Marilyn,
very nice this snapshot of the daily life of this cute boy that is caring from her mother in the basket.The most i like in this shot is his smile and the warm afternoon colours that floodlight the scene.Well done.

Regards,Danos

Salut Marilyn I have to laugh so long I look at this very lovely smiling face.

Hello Marylin,

Qu'il est beau, et que la lumière est belle aussi. Un superbe portrait, bravo !
Bonne soirée
Marie

delkoo (33966) 2008-04-11 2:13

bonjour marylin,
la tête du gossse est bien encadrée par les cordes de son vehicule de transport tres écologique, mais c'est la lumiere qui est le principal acteur de cette belle photo.

Jean-Luc (5488) 2008-04-11 6:12

Bonjour Marilyn,
Tu nous charmes avec ce bout de chou au sourire si tendre!
Les autres photos en WS complètent bien cette série très appréciable aussi par cette lumière qui nous offre cette chaude couleur.
Amicalement
Jean-Luc

realimis (820) 2008-04-11 17:09

batalay (20698) 2008-04-12 16:10

Bonjour Marilyn,

A fabulous portrait of the little boy. The basket in which he is ensconced appears to be the gondola of a small hot air balloon. Very good colors, resolution and composition. Warm regards, and best wishes for a rejuvenating and restful Sunday,

Bulent

adores (15287) 2008-04-13 16:37

Hi Marilyn!
I like all of them! The smile of the little boy here is just perfect. I like a lot his expression on the other but the light here is very good and the composition is perfect, showing a part of the basket.

kiwi_explorer (12195) 2008-04-13 17:37

Hi Marilyn,
What a delightful capture ... captivating smile. I like the subtle framing and the warm lighting. Well composed and presented with very good image quality. Excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Bonsoir Marilyn,

Très joli portrait de ce petit bambin qui me semble vraiment bien dans son panier. J'aime beaucoup son petit sourire mutin. La lumière est superbe et l'avantage de la conversion en format RAW se voit très bien ici. Très belle image, bravo Marilyn et merci pour la photo bonus.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et à bientôt,

Jean-Charles

stego (22336) 2008-04-16 9:19

Salut Mailyn,
Il est si charmant... Un souris candide et joyeux, des yeux pleins de vie, une lumière chaude très joli, cadrage parfaite. Bravo!
Je dis le même sur le WS, mais si d'une part est bon de voir la face plus proche, il se perd le contexte, qui est une des choses qui la fait plus marrante.
Amitiés, José

Emile (19803) 2008-04-16 10:45

Hola Marilyn.
Very good portrait of the smiling child sitting inside a basket, very good colors tones and POV, Good DOF.
Well done. TFS.
Cheers.

Angshu (33318) 2008-04-16 21:14

Bonjour Marilyn
Superb portrait of the young boy. The light is simply delicious, soft & warm, lighting up the warmth of his smile. The closerup version in the WS is also very nice, but I do prefer this. Excellent use of shallow DOF as well, to isolate him from the BG. A delightful capture!
Regards
Angshu

Stepan (27167) 2008-04-20 9:35

Il est chou, dans son panier, dans cette lumière, avec son tanaka.
Très sympa, très gai, très réussi.

Didi (35744) 2008-04-26 5:39

Bonjour Marilyn
Charmante image qui complète la précédente; l'enfant adopte une attitude naturelle et non figée.
Va falloir m'entrainer à faire des portraits :)
