Photographer’s Note

Child of Innocence

It was but a glance of hope
that I saw in her eyes
About winds on the meadows
and birds in the heights
A ticklish dream of spring
awaited for long amid the lies
O Child of pure innocence
run before the run of times

In the darkness lies there
this heart of guilt and sorrow
Grown up over the agonies
and veins tight and narrow
Mercifulness is so a blessing
but what left of it to follow?
O Child of pure innocence
nap, and yet there is tomorrow

Blabber not O my little
life blabbered enough for me
When your turn comes
surely there is something to be
Like a glancing star above
shine and let everyone see
O Child of pure innocence
what innocence shall it be?

Beuatiful portrait, excellent glance, excellent contrasts, but I don't like "innocence" included in the photo...
Best regards. Grazyna.

Hi Indranil, very pretty close-up portrait in BW and the tight cropping. The focus on the eyes is really fantastic and the dlevel of details of the facial features. Thanks for sharing...Alex

namaste Indranil
Quite some eyes !!
Totally overexposed on the right upper part but it highlights the eyes still a little more

Perfect composition to communicate the feelings towards the baby. The black and white touch adds to the mood. Excellent catch.
Cheers,

Hi Indroda,
Difficult to decide which is more beautiful K or this face....I think both. This is absolutely fantastic from photographic and human point of view.
Just loved it,
Sagarneel.

Good portrait Indro...like the close approach & tight crop. Exposure was a problem especially the overexposed parts, but the marvellous eyes overcome it all, visually. Well done!
