Her shirt says it all Photo

Photographer’s Note

When I arrived back in South Carolina after being home for Thanksgiving, my grandson was playing outside with the neighborhood kids. When they saw me unloading my camera gear they converged upon me requesting to have their pictures taken. This little girl is so pretty and I thought the colors of her jacket were just perfect for her. I loved the little saying written upon it and I agree completely.

Hi Shelly
You have captured some really nice light on her face and I like the way she is not looking at the camera as it gives a "spur of the moment" feel.
Nicely done.
Phil

Hello Shelly. A wonderful and worth seeing snapshot. The view is directed toward the affectionate and friendly face of the girl. As it seems, she is completely busy with itself. Really a beautiful photo. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Shelly,
I haven't posted a photo or a critique for awhile due to family hardships for the past few months. You have posted some wonderful portraits lately and I would like to commend you on your artistic and technical excellence. Beautiful work!

Hello Shelly,
Another brilliant portrait of a beautiful child. She appears to be petting the rabbit on her colorful jacket. The colors are wonderfully clear with exceptional details and sharpness to this photo. I love how her braids contrast so nicely with the muted blue background.

hello Shelly, another good one from you. Your photographs of children always make me smile because they exude a happy, comfortable feeling only possible because your subjects must feel comfortable with you. I have just critqued a picture just after you, the one titled Mom's Love. It is marvellous and it could have been one of yours.
regards
Bev

Hi Shelly,
I agree with you too! What's not to love? really...nothing. Well taken shot.

Hi Shelly,

this is not the type of shot I normally like especially in this time of 'political correctness' which I think has gone way over the top! But this is such an endearing, natural capture. The colours are complimentary, the dof is perfect and it has great sharpness. It's a fine capture and I think you've found your style. Did you see Bulent’s note about portrait photography?

Kind regards and I wish you a very happy holiday.

Hi Shelley. Nice and lively portrait shot with just and well proportioned contrast and clarity. Her hair-do, looking downwards with a soft, cute smile -- wonderfully captured. And the message on the jacket. Made me think that when grown up the girl would realise that love, like a river, will cut a new path whenever it meets an obstacle. God bless her. Thank you Shelley for such nice presentation. Regards
Partha

What can I say? Very good management of light and most of all, we can see with this shot your feelings for this little girl.

hello, sharon

an interesting portrait. yes, the colors are matching and so does the writing on the shirt, but what dragged me to open the thumbnail was the hypnotic triangle formed by the bright white beads in the girls hair and the writing. her coy glance matches the direction of the triangle too. so does her gesture.

interesting.
