Photographer’s Note

Ok a conventional one today after yesterday's post.. Maybe too conventional :-) I know that there too many close up potrait here on TE.. Actually I only started taking close up potraits since I have seen them on TE..

Why this one? as there enough of this kind? I like it because of the POV and the perspective... and

Kids at this age is often refuse to share what they have.. wanting to keep things to them... fighting with siblings because they take their toys etc.. and this girl was happy to share what she had with me..

Yep.. a lesson to world from this little girl in a little village.... 'Dear citizens of the world, share what you have and learn to give and take... be tolerant... Please work towards a peaceful world for us.'

Have a nice Sunday TEarthers....

Very strong message. Share, share & share !

This kid seems to share w/o expecting any return, that the way i feel it looking at the eyes and expressive face: full of kindness.

The composition is great, the perspective blurring the hand is perfect: no need to know what is given, the most important thing is the gesture!

Thanks, Al.

Hello Balla,
This photo remind me a B&W Clint Eastwwod shot where he had the very same gesture.
Very nice shot.

Hi Bala,
Great closeup, I like the white light behind and the dof blurring the kids hands.
Well seen,
How is the studying doing?
Regards
Daniel

Heelo Bala. Very nice, it is not so conventional, at least he boy is doing something, not just a strict head shot. a caught a nice little smile and the focus on the eyes is just great.

Salut Bala
Très beau portrait! J'aime beaucoup ses grands yeux tout ronds.
Elle a vraiment une tête de "little buddha". Belle compo!
A+

Hi Bala - really cute, the shiny eyes are really... eye catching, great timing with the hand.

Wooooow!
Quel regard! (encore un...)
Elle a un petit air espiègle cette fillette... et pourtant elle veur partager avec nous ce qu'elle a dans sa main. Excellent cadrage. J'aime beaucoup le flou sur la main et le fait qu'on ne voit même pas ce qu'elle veut nous donner, (la chose n'est pas importante, c'est le geste qui compte).
Bonne journée Bala.
