hi adam..
it's a good portrait of a happy girl and her brother!
'white of the teeth and black of the clothes'=affective contrast!
you got a beautiful photo with strong smile!

Hi Adam,
That's a good portrait. You captured well the girl's expression. I think that there is too much light on the boy's face, although.

Well...she has just a great face...really wonderful! And, I think it would have been nice to have just a close up of her face, too. It'd be nice to see her whole face, too. But this is a very nice shot, and beautiful the way you've captured them both.

Hi Adam!
Very lovely moment you captured here. Although both children are looking straight into the lense I like the expression on their faces.
B&W is a nice idea - but I would be interested in the coloured version (if there is one.. ;) ).

Two things to mentione
First I am not sure about the sharpness of the boy's face; it seems a little bit out of focus (correct me, if you wanted that effect). 2nd, I am not that sure about your choice of the right side of this shot. Is there some cropping? Maybe the whole face of the girl would have been a touch nicer - just my humble opinion.

Regards and TFS

Very nice black and white picture! The cute and intelligent smile of the girl and the strong look in the boy's eyes make this picture interesting. Well done!

Witaj Adam,

dobra reporterka. B/w jest dobre, fajna tonacja. Najbardziej podoba mi sie kadr i obcieta twarz dziewczyny ale pokazanie obu oczy. A jakie mocne sa te oczy! Fajne.

Linda foto Adam,
a opção pelo preto e branco ficou perfeita. A composição também está apurada.
Parabéns,
Wagner.

Hi Adam! Very good candid shot! I like their opposite expressions - one's smiling while the other one seems to be surprised/afraid. IMHO, the background is over exposed and might need a little bit darkening. Overall, a good B&W composition! rgds.

Hi Adam, very nice glances, would be nice with a bit more of shadows as it seems that the light was quite harsh, I am not sure that it was a good idea to crop her eye, you might have chosen to crop just on the right of the eye, just my thoughts...

Hello Adam, This is a very good portrait you have here. The contrast between their expressions caught me first. Hers seemingly very happy and the brothers somewhat stern, or maybe concentrated is a better word. Anyhow, I also like the choice of B&W. It would have been nice to see her whole face, but I suspect it wasn't a crop...am I right?

Hi Adam,
a beautiful double portrait of these kids. Their expressions - the girl's smile and the boy's look - are very nice.
I like the light and the shadow on his face.
B+W works well.

Hi Adam,

I like this double portrait where I think you have captured a great expression of the small girl. A good choice to convert it to black and white. A shame that it's a bit overexposed but overall it's a great scene.

Hej Adam

Wspaniale zdjecie. Urzekla mnie w nim jego naturalnosc i fakt ze zostalo zrobione 'zywiolowo' bez widocznego czesto pozowania czy tez sztucznosci. Rewelacyjny dobor czerni i bieli do portretu rodzenstwa uwydatnia jeszcze szczegoly ich twarzy - biel zebow czy tez czern wlosow. Jestem naprawde pod wrazeniem.

pozdrowienia, Wojtek

This kind of pictures spontanuously make me smile and feel happy! Fantastic shot! Did you crop the right half of the girls face on purpous?

MayaG (2393) 2006-08-20 18:12

Hello Adam!
I love this image, the crop most of all. It's full of emotions. Great grainy feel as well! timeless photo:)
well done!

I like your crop and the grain. it's a great shot for the frame.

Hi Adam, excellent BW double portrait, sounds very exotic for me cause Nepal seems sooo far from france :) Thanks for the moment, i really enjoyed it :)

Hello Adam!
You have good eyes to capture daily life! Congrats! I choose this picture to comment now because the girl's eyes had captured me. Excellent work!

I like this tight dubbel portrait with spot on the boy and her at the side, maybe including the whole eye would have benefit the shot but cropping it is worse, like this it is still acceptable.

This is touching picture...Your image tells a small story to me about fraternal love!
Thank you for sharing

Hi Adam,
Wonderful smile of the sister with white teeth, and it's also interesting that the brother is gazing you
Did she say to you that do you have some sweets?
Lovely mountain children shot!
