Shyness Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Following the portrait series...

He was so shy, the most timid among the brothers and sisters. I could not get a picture of him without his arm covering his face.

I was also a timid boy. Very shy, I remember. Somehow, I left my shyness abandoned somewhere.

K.
PP: cropped, added a frame. Played with levels and contrast. Added some graininess.

I hope you like it.

I will add this picture to my theme: Pictionary.

Shyness is nice, but shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you´d like to...

Belo retrato!

timidez: quiza, pero hermosos ojos y complexion de la piel. Me gusta el nivel de la luz y el encuadramiento.
Suerte amigo

Great light and colors Cesar. The tight framing is very effective and the lightcatch in the eyes perfect! An excellent portrait!

A string eyes in a shy face,with an innocence in it,very strong in the composition,I like a warm tonality here,too,well captured and nicely composed and frammed,Also really a great shot about showing the shyness,very well done,Cesar.

And...glad to see you,too.

What a beautiful pair of eyes popping out of the deep warm darker and intim scene and nicely composed to get all dynamics tension to those eyes.
Like it a lot !

I can't help but smile while looking at this image Cesar:) If I listen real close I can hear his child like shy giggles...He can cover his mouth but you can still see the smile in his eyes. The crop and placement of the boy in the frame is perfect...Love it love it love it

Again a very appealing portrait coming from you, Kike. The posture of the boy is very nicely captured, and the sparkle in his big eyes adds punch and life to the photo. I also like the variety of brownish color tones all over the frame. Well done, you are really getting good at this.

great focus of the boy and very smerky look, well done with the framing and I would have cropped his hand away but thats just me

This is really a good portrait, I like the eyes, the good colours, as a painting, an oil painting. The pof is great, fantastic job.
