Privet Lena,

Cheers

A wall with a gate and before it a married couple with child. A restful and peaceful Scene. This picture stands completely in the contrast to the current events in Israel. In addition, the photo is whole for itself a very beautiful photo. The picture elements are arranged outstanding, sharpness, colors ect. tune. Very beautifully. Many greetings, Wolfgang

I can look at the photo, without a note, something rare for me. I like it very much, the relaxed atmosphere of the family. The colours are beautiful. Did you do any processing?

The picture is so beautiful, it speaks volume on his own.
One word of note would(possibly) spoil this unique charm of it.
Full of adoration for your work...

Ciao Elena.
Stupenda foto, Forse potevi un pò raddrizzarla, però mi piace ugualmente tanto. Sembra di tornare indietro con gli anni.
Ciao Renzo

Hi Elena,

a delightful image of a family at rest in peace - even the baby getting changed looks relaxed and mum isn't showing any signs of stress! You just about hold the whites against the strong light - not so easy in such sun.

best wishes Kev

Nice photo, good clarity and you caught the moment well. I might have crope a little off the left hand side and the top to bring the subjects more centeral in the frame. Very good shot though.

i am truly impressed of this shot- you captured them in their natural moods. clear and sharp image. it is a pity that there are no notes to help other TE members like me to understand jewish culture or what this ceremony is all about!
