... Leaving for some time, I'll be on the border again, near Georgia, Armenia and Iran ; here I've tried to enlarge a very small photo from that area : I had orginally posted it here when I even did not know that photoshop existed.

The result is still not fantastic and as ever, your advice is welcome. These children had been following us for a long time when we toured their village, with Adem my child "guide" that I had selected among other boys and his friends who insisted to come with us ; Adem and the eldest girl here on the left had to reassure the little ones and to explain how to pose correctly... After that, they all screamed and jumped out of excitement and they were less controllable :))

(Behind the group is a cowshed with the typical mud roof ; you can also see 6 other photos of this village in high altitude, all in small format), all posted long ago and not great but I hope, informative.

Why is it that some of our most loved pictures turn out to be some of weakest technically? Oh, perhaps it's because documentary photography reflects real life, and real life is never perfect!! And so, I must say this is a trully beautiful portrait. Children look so sweet and lovely, the sky is burned to white but so what if it's because of that brightness childrens' hair are lit up, they look almost angelic here. I love it!

Something too standard for me from such great Author as You are, but... I like it.
Let it be. Seven thick, seven thin? :))
Regards.

Hi Catherine,
it is much beautiful one to see that in sure places of the world the children try forehead embarrassment to the camera.
Ciao

Il est des photos "dans" lesquelles il ne faudrait pas jeter ne serait-ce qu'un cil, sauf à accepter de se laisser mener dans le dédale de vies de personnes que l'on ne connaissait pas deux secondes auparavant... et j'accepte... avec énormément de plaisir! Admiration et amitiés, alain

Bonsoir Cath, en premier je te souhaite un bon voyage et en second, c'est vrai que cette photo est moins bonne au point de vue couleurs, mais c'est ton approche vers les gens que je salue ici, les rires des enfants, je crois que tu devais les amuser et cela est une qualité pour moi, davantage que la qualité de la photo en elle même.
à très bientôt
Je pârs le 3 pour plus d'un mois direction Roumanie et Moldavie?

Hi dear Cath,
I'm not talking about the quality, but the effect of the scene is absolutely "masterly" !
Amazing faces.
Poor but happy.
TFS and best rehgards

Bonsoir Catherine,
Tu as fais de réels progrès en post traitement. C'est flagrant quand on compare les deux photos !
J'aime cette palette d'expressions de joie. Les enfants semblent ravis d'être pris en photo. Une gaïeté toute contagieuse, ça fait du bien.
Bon voyage et ramène nous de belles photos!
Amitiés,
Marianne

Hi Cath,
Very nice shot of the children seeming to be full of happy. All are naturally very good faces. I like especially the expression of the elder girl on the left. I'd like to go there if a chance.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

Good shot capturing the natural hapiness and lightheartedness of the moment. The light is strong and clear and the characters look very colorful indeed!
Dave

Hi Catherine,
This photo is full with energy by the smiling faces and the bright light, for us the children are so cute but for the lady they may be so naughty, good shoot, thanks for sharing.

Hey Cath,

Excellent photo from the edge of the world as they say. :) Great warmth, not only in colors, but the motive itself. Composed beautifully, with that nostalgic feeling to it.

Best regards.

Merhaba Cath,
Sevinc, utangaclik, mutluluk...Hepsi ayni karede.. Guzel zamanlama ve kadraja sahip cok guzel bir fotograf. Selamlar,
Seref

a lovely photo, showing the children giggling. the light on their hair is awesome. the framing is beautiful with 6 to 2. Cath, congratulations for the expressions as always.

Hello Catherine,
Lovely giggling kids in an interesting environment. But what I find most interesting with this picture is how you have improved as a photographer, or especially as a "post-processor" in just a year or two. That is truly impressive.
Best wishes,
Gert

Natural emotion scene,This was showed your style and your eye to look at the great moment to capture,Cheer and Bon voyage;-).TFS

Maybe not the best technically but it shows so much. Strange for us that so many children in the world are not used to posing for photos. Have a safe journey.
Kath

You're great taking of portraits. nice composition. wonderful expressions.

Bonsoir,
belle photo de cette famille d' enfants qui a l' air enchantée de poser pour vous.
Belle prise, jolies couleurs et bonne netteté.
Joliment pris et bien capté les émotions qui se dégage de ce groupe.
Merci de vos partages.

Amitiés Thomas

Ciao Caterina, che meraviglia questa sfilata di bimbi con splendidi sorrisi, brava

Bonjour, chère Catherine,
Image très bien réalisée dans son ensemble puisqu'elle nous permet de découvrir l'habitat et la famille (une partie du moins) avec les enfants réagissant comme tous les enfants du monde (l'insouciance heureuse de la jeunesse).
L'intérêt est comme toujours manifeste.
Amitiés.
Philippe

cath,
there's so much joy and zest for life in your photos that the makers of photoshop would gladly exchange some of the software's features with the results you're getting when people watch your views on life ;o) ... what did you do to these children? ;o) ... cause whatever it was - they seem to enjoy it ... but i believe it was only your friendly personality shining through ... well done! and thanks,
dora

Resalut Catherine
Un petit mot vite fait sur cette photo avant que j'aille moi-même en faire...ici c'est l'expression qui me plait, l'expression de chacun, car vraiment tous ont une attitude très personnelle du ressenti devant un photographe, et de plus, expression vraie car il s'agit d'enfants. Très touchant.

Salut Cath,
Encore une image de famille. Tu es à peu près la seule qui a du succès avec ce genre de portrait de groupe. Tu détiens donc une botte secrète.

Chere Catherine,

pour ma breve rentre a Belgrade je me regale en visitant ta galerie. Je le fais en vitesse, car mon cote de bon-vivant me rappelle de rentrer sur le Danube. J'aime bien ce portrait des mignons. Il pourriat etre ameliore en rajoutant un peu de jaun-rouge, pour une atmosphere plus chaude. Passe de tres bonnes vacances estivales et au plaisir de te revoir.
