Michele es un estupendo retrato, es algo misterioso. La luz es excelente en este disparo. Me encanta el contraste del negro del fondo derecho con el brillo de los ojos del niño. Un retrato muy bien logrado
Felicitaciones.

The photo disappeared for a moment and I thought it was removed by the mods (?).
Definitely more interesting than the previous face ( the sad one), if only for the glitz in his eyes and these incredibly handsome rabbit teeth in there !
:-)))
Not very cooperative light somehow screwed up his left chin, creating those sharp shades on the skin.
But - it's cherishable and childish optimistic overall.

Remain smiling, Michele

marvel, pure marvel...

just two things: please "respect the faces" marie...:-)))
/meaning - just few centimeters at the bottom, more.../
and..
i wish you had some lens with f/1.8 or better to unveil that other eye...

anyway, something that impresses...

bw, j.

Hi Michele
The softness is really nice here but the eyes are sharp and the catchlight draws our eyes to his.

something a bit spooky in this one, Michele. i have to disagree with the authority (G) here: those sharp shades and the darkness surrounding your model's innocent smile bring about some distressing feeling (for me) - quite the opposite to the optimistic joy mentioned in G's comment. it could be though: it was your intent.

warm regards,
kristaps

Hi Michele,

I hope this boy grows into those spectacular teeth! (Or, maybe not...) He looks like some human-alien-vampire hybrid, but a benevolent one. I am sure he will be a night person when he grows up.

I like the contrast of the innocent child with the darkness. It's a bit creepy, and I like that a lot.

I'm fine with the lighting and exposure, but of course am no expert to critique that.

Hi Michele,
Finally got to it .... mixed feelings i have. At first, I clearly preferred the sleeping version, this one seemed verging to the evil side (probably the combination of his thin, bony features and huge teeth), somebody here even said a young vampire :-)) .... but after looking at it more, I see the other side - an innocent, sweet smile and happy to see you photographing him. And I like the gleam in his darker eye ... oops, he looks evil again. So yeah, I like it because one can interpret this image in diametrically opposed ways.
take care,
Cristian

Hello Michèle,

A very good continuation of the previous shot and a sweet dedication to Farah.

If you look for some time to the boy, it gets after a while kind of creepy. His darkened left eye perhaps?

Have a great day
