[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This little boy may be an example of the miscegenation in Brazil. His father descends from Italians in second degree. His mother's ascendants came from Japan: a new generation of brazilians. He was one year-old at the time of the shooting. I took a couple of shots and that's the only one I got his attention to the lens. I really like his serious look. Hope you like it.

tech note: color image converted into b&w. Worked on the contrasts, used some filters, added vignetting, gaussian blur and grain. Decided not to sharpen as I usually do.

Oi Carlos,
Maravilhoso esse retrato e o detalhe das imagens refletidas nos olhos dele é super interessante.Ele parece curioso ou interrogativo. O P&B ficou ótimo.
Abraços
Maria

Hi Carlos,
Intriging eyes which is the most strongest point in the whole photo, but also his face expression, really wondering what you were doing here. I love the close up setting, close as possible, but also the choice for b&w. The strong vignette is perhaps a bit to much for my taste, but i like the effect. Sharp on the eyes, perfect. See his lips....very intriging, really good work.
Regards, Henk

Olá Carlos,
o garoto têm um fisionomia forte, marcante e você registrou bem isso. O brilho dos olhos está show!
Preto e branco ficou ótimo.
Abraços e um ótimo domingo.
Wagner.

There is a great deal of the light in those eyes...

A bit more of a cropping would bring that world enclosed in his eyes much closer to us...

Great stuff, Carlos

Oi, Carlos
Belo portrait muito bem capturado, as expressões do garotinho estão impressionantes, e olhar dele é uma extrema profundidade, parece até que o estamos observando ao vivo. Colocar no modo P&B foi uma ótima idéia, pois, sinto que neste modo, as linhas e expressões ganharam destaque exemplar. Bela Mostra. Abraço, Consuelo

Este retrato está fantástico. A escolha do P/B e do grão foram muito acertadas. O miúdo tem uma expressão sensacional e parece que estava muito intrigado pelo que se estava a passar ao seu redor. É uma foto muito linda e certamente que os pais gostariam de ter uma cópia ampliada, se é que já nãoa têm.
António

Olá Carlos

Um belo retrato, as expressões delicadas e o brilho dos olhos são marcantes...aliás, você já se percebeu nos olhos dele?
Amei a versão B&P neste caso, ficou ótimo.
Parabéns!

Oi Carlos ,
Ficou magnifico este retrato desta criança , nos reflexo dos olhos dele tu apareces :), os detalhes da pele como a textura ficaram lindos , boa opção pelo preto e branco , bom trabalho de photoshop, parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Hello Carlos,
The glow in his eyes is mesmerizing. The slight graininess and the tones/contrast are perfect for this b&w rendition. He is so darn cute. I thank you for the warm critique of 'basilica'. Greetings from a very humid and muggy Wash D.C.

Olá Carlos,
Eu adoro o retrato desta criança. Seu olhar é de grande expressividade e eu também te amo você olhar que se reflectem nos seus olhos.
Magnífico trabalho.
Abraços,
Charo

Olá Carlos!
Algo diferente do que costumo ver em sua galeria, mas um belo retrato, mostrando, como em sua nota, a miscigenação do povo brasileiro!
O preto e branco ficou excelente para o caso em tela (coisa de advogado esse "caso em tela").
Em resumo, um excelente retrato infantil!
Abração,
Neyvan

Carlos,
What a portrait !
Your light management is just amazing, as the boy attitude, and I like your note too.

Ola Carlos,
Interesting facts about Euro-Japanese in Brazil, I know there is a big Jap. community there and Brazil have a VERY mixed population... Anyway, you got a fine B&W portrait here, slightly off centered, with no BG disturbances. I like how his eyes are very sharp, while the skin texture is very smooth.
Good work
Laurent

trabalho de artista, Carlos.
A foto já estava excelente e seu pp realçou com muita classe a luz maravilhosa que ilumina o rosto da criança.
aquele nada de cinza mais claro (a parte de traz da camiseta, à direita de quem olha) atrai o olhar, de modo que acho que ficaria melhor se fosse escurecida.

Hello Carlos,
A beautiful portrait of a boy with beautiful sharp eyes...very strongly looking. Nice capture.

Olá Carlos,
a superb portrait, very good the skin captured and also his thoughts seem to be written on the front. Good small details in the reflection of his eyes and the tight framing works together with the b&w.

Hi Carlos,
Very good work on the conversion. Nice partial lighting to bring focus to the face. The softness and complexion of the child's face are not betrayed despite the use of the grain filter. Nice sharp black & reflecting eyes. Congratulation on your first head & shoulder portrait. Well done. Best Regards. Latiff.

he looks so cool carlos... and i like the postprocessing as well, that retro look, like from a very old album... good job my friend... cheers... korkut

a painting of sort.the blurr and grain added to Bruno's mystic-looking eyes and innocense. two thumbs up...way up. the guru has landed once again!!
muitto bonito,
Benedict
ps..and i see a more serious amigo in the latest update, huh?

Olá Carlos
wonderful B&W portrait

I have to say that before opening the thumbnail I didn't think I would like the photo too much, but I'm happy to be wrong :) excellent portrait, Carlos, the postproduction you have chosen works very well, for some reason it reminds me of old Italian movies. the serious look is captivating, and vignetting nicely focuses attention on the eyes. excellent work, my compliments.

Kristine

Ola Carlos,
really the B/W portrait of this young child is very impressive.I like his glance and the artistic post processing with all the elements that exists on the photo.Especially the Gaussian blur and grain filters, made a little miracle on the face of the child.Well done my friend.

Olá Carlos,
interessante essa imagem e tecnica aplicada, ficou com um aspecto de foto antiga. Achei interessante o reflexo nos olhos do garoto também.
Parabéns e Abraço

I wonder what Bruno have in his mind ;) An intense look with his big and shiny eyes! Sharpness is perfect and I don't think you needed to add it more!

Hello Carlos,

What eyes Carlos, so strong exactly or he have very a lot fright of the camera or the man behind the camera!
We get indeed a new generation people in the world, still hundred year and we find no orginally human race.
Perhaps Corlos place you the colour picture as WS the next time.
Very well done, TFS.

ola carlos

those eyes are magnificent. i think, i can even distinguish you in them. i agree with polonaise though: bringing/placing those eyes into a compositionally more active spot would make the portrait even more expressive. try to scroll the photo on your browser, so that the top is hidden to the point that the eyes sit on the top 1/3 horizontal line. ;)

cheers,
kristaps

Oi Carlos,
Prodigioso (não dou por menos) retrato. PB absolutamente adequado. Tudo mais perfeito

Hi Carlos
This portrait is really beautifull. I like the light you get, the great black and white and the interesting glance of this kid.
Beautifull
Bertrand

Ciao my friend,
this is a wonderful portrait where the eye of the kid really make the difference. The choice of the b&w is just the right one as well as the choice of the gaussian blur. Everything is focused on the eye of the kid and I really like the vignetting to. This is a truly fine work! My compliments.

Carlos,
This is a very engaging image you can't just glance at it and look away. It draws my attention, I can't help but stare at his eyes for a long time Simple portrait, but such an expression of pure emotion. Like a really fine pencil drawing effect to it. Great light and shadow. Whatever effect you did is great for this image. One that I will not forget anytime soon. Thanks. Great works in your gallery. I really enjoy them.
