[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this shot while travelling down to the Algarve from England for a short holiday, during the flight the sunlight coming trough the planes window was so strong that it created this semi artistic shot on the child`s face which I took by chance and only later realised its artistic potential, to finish this note in a nice way I would like to add a wonderful poem that really shows the meaning of this shot, thank you to all.

Light is the breaking of dawn
Light is the load when you are just born
Light is a place without any fear
Light is when your lover is near
Light is a heart that's open and free
Light is a place where truth you can see
Light is a feeling that's good
Light is when everything's clear, understood
Light is the absence of dark
Light is a summer picnic in a beautiful park
Light is just simply walking on air
Light is what makes the shine in her hair
Light is what warms and what feeds
Light is not having any more needs
Light is a magical feeling inside
Light is the side of the street to reside
Light is always and always will be
Light is what joins us, him, you and me
Light Is.

Superb definitions of light!
Light is the look of a child,coming from his eyes and straight to our hearts
This portrait is original and stunning,the light gives a magic touch

Hi Joao Paulo, good to see you back! Very strong shot - the huge area of brilliant white forces your attention to the child and that beautiful eye. Strange how photographers are quite happy to post large areas of deep shadow, yet shy away from the light - perhaps because it is so difficult to handle.

Excellent work, and thoughtful note.

Warm regards, Roberto

I do love this. It's all about light yes, about feelings, a glimpse on a human being's soul, a second in time. Very very beautiful and artistic. My compliments Joao. Good to see you back!

Warm regards and thanks
Michèle
