Another excellent shot in your series, Manny.
Very natural pose. Beautiful simple dark background. I like how the lines/drying clothes frame the girl. And also how the beautiful light emphasizes the outlines. The drops of water is a great addition.

This is a face to die for, it is so beautiful in its aliveness with sunlight in her hair and on the side of her face and arms. Wonderful capture Manny. I was surprised for a moment that you didn't use your signature close crop, but then appreciated how the composition called for the laundry to tell this story and for space behind her to balance the frame. In other words, you did a great job of composition in addition to the great capture. Fine shot.

Beautiful shot, Manny. I like how the girl comes out of the black background and how, thanks to a very good exposure time, drops of water are frozen in time, drawing my attention to what she's actually doing. Very simple yet effective shot!

Typically great. I like the way you so often arrange the light source to just highlight your subject.

This little girl seems to have completely forget your camera, as you explained in your note.
I like the light of this picture and the framing is also very good.
Very sharp. One more great daily-life picture!

Seriez-vous comme le magicien qui tire chaque fois un lapin de son chapeau Manny ? L'émerveillement est toujours au rendez-vous lorsque vous publiez une photographie. Celle-ci n'échappe pas à la règle. Des couleurs magnifiques, l'enfant est superbement photographié.
Excellent.
Would be you like the magician who draws each time a rabbit from his Manny hat? Amazement is always with go when you publish a photograph. This one does not escape the rule. Splendid colors, the child is superbly photographed.
Excel.

Another great capture of a child portrait, Manny! Wonderful usage of light, bringing such a fine accent on her really delicate features. The water drops add a lot to the mood too. Lovely colours and very good DOF. Excellent one!

Very good, Manny, I instantly smiled upon opening it. Indeed her posing looks adorably natural, and she is obviously having fun wringing out the laundry. The water droplets are again very well rendered, and the neutral dark background makes your subject stand out even more. Great colors, too.

Wow - what a capture - you must have you computer filled with those masterworks - I like fine backlight and "silverlining" on her face - great colours and nice framed with the black -
I like it very very much Manuel.

Très jolie photo encore une fois. La composition est excellente laissant passer la lumière derrière la pièce de tissu sombre et soulignée par un trait sur la pièce horizontale. quant à la petite fille, il est exact que ses talents de "pro" ajoutent un plus à ce superbe portrait.

Hi Manny, I remember her, a very pleasing portrait of this youg girl. The light is really great, and the colours are so warm. The lit waterdrops are so nice in this picture too. And the way you can just see the contours of the dark cloth because of the backlight, great.
Thanks very much for your compliments on my 'sunny bay', and especially on my first model. You're a big example for me, Manny. Thanks very much.
