Keep feeling fascination Photo

Photographer’s Note

One fan to keep an endless chaotic motion plus colorful baloons, and fascination will be guaranteed.

Not the static toys at the stands at the back, just colors in motion.

I find myself many times like this baby boy, fascinated by the motifs I find before me.

If I ever loose this feeling I will quit shooting, I hope this will never happen. Fascination is the fuel that keeps me alive.

Sorry gents, I do not have so much time now to comment your pictures, but I promise to return slowly.
I have TOO many pictures to post too, but lately I am lacking time.
My dearest regards to you, and keep on shooting!

Hello Cesar,
This is a different approach of photography that is not mine. But there are moods and also different ways to capture. This one called my attention and also I'm here only by little monthly hours.

I like your angle of taking this nice picture. Close-up at right and blur at the bakground. EXcelent light conditions, fine enquadrement, good colors and a final and nice composition.

THanks.
Luis

Yes, it is all about the fascination and about keeping the eye to see the interesting things popping up in front of our cameras, Kike. Beautiful photo with the little one looking inside, I think the crucial element to make this one work are the little hand on the grid, and the light from the inside hitting the face. Very nice.

Cesar,
this photo touched me, and you know why so there's no need to write it down here!

Keep yourself fascinated because doing so you keep other fascinated also!

Hugs for you and your little one!

love the semi circle of colors, Kike, the judicious blur - even the bulb lamp matches the ballons! and that beautiful, totally beautiful little boy´s profile.
keep shooting! keep feeling fascinated by life!

Hola Cesar, I almost kissed the screen!
And I agree with your title, that's what I learned from my mother as well, and it makes the world a fine place, able to discover new things.
Lovely capture, Kike, the light on the kid is sooo warm and lovely. I love his hand on the fence.
Thanks, friend!

I am thrown into this schild's world. The lively colors even sucked me in. Very nice picture Cesar.

Hi Cesar
yu call it fascination, I call it wondering eyes, always trying to look behind for reasons why and most you find the anwers in tiny things like this child, good colors and blur for the movement, we wonder about he child and he is wondering about all those colors. I hope your eye-appel is doing fine.
Nice, there is more to it when you keep an open mind.

This is a wonderful and very sympathic picture, Cesar! The light and colours are superb and - like Norbert already wrote - the little boy's hand on the fence is of great importance. I also like the fact that we can see that he is moving the fence, as it is blurred, while his head is not. It emphasizes the fascination of the boy. Fascination, surpises, astonishment, disbelieve... without these emotions life would be boring.

Hi Cesar,
I like this photo very much! very impressive.
Thank for sharing!

Very well framed for this situation, and the babies hand are giving the exitation in front from the colorfull balloons.
Good light too.
I like it

Bonjour Cesar,
La fascination que l'on perçoit à travers le regard (masqué partiellement, mais que l'on devine) de l'enfant à travers ce grillage est un véritable symbole de la barrière entre le réel et le rêve.
Une très jolie photographie emplie de symboles.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Nice shot Cesar;

I like the fact that you didn't feel compelled to conform to the theory that it has to be sharp. I think this photo demonstrates your confidence in your technique, by using camera motion to add to the overall feel of the photo. This picture comes across as very spontaneous, and the composition is superb.

Very nice photo Cesar! Keep up the great work...

the last time where I remained absent as a child it was on the aircraft last Saturday, by looking at the clouds. my neighbors and the steward had much difficulty of awaking me :-)

I love the blur in this shot; it makes it soft and intimate. Very interesting pov, keeping all the mystery of what's behind the fence. Congradulations.

Hi Cesar,
A colourful daily life shot, rendered with great clarity and a unique POV. The child is perfectly framed on the right side and we are part of his world, staring through the screen at the balloons. Very well seen and executed. Regards.
John

My comment is not about the picture. Let others do it. This is about your thoughts and experience:
"One fan to keep an endless chaotic motion plus colorful baloons, and fascination will be guaranteed.
Not the static toys at the stands at the back, just colors in motion.
I find myself many times like this baby boy, fascinated by the motifs I find before me.
If I ever loose this feeling I will quit shooting, I hope this will never happen. Fascination is the fuel that keeps me alive..."

You have many ideas for me to learn, and to quote for others...
Thanks, with my sincerity,

Thanh
