Smiling Infectivity, a photo from Sao Vicente, Barlavento

Photographer's Note

I think that the series "Smiling Infectivity" by Polonaise will remain an icon on this site. Even that I see more and more photos uploaded by him recently, his SI series is the thing that I'm missing most...
------
The smiling person is a Capoeira dancer photographed briefely after the performance.

Uśmiech pierwsza klasa.
Szalenie szczery i piękny.

A ta seria - SI - to faktycznie już klasyka. Ma nawet już różne odmiany...:)

Bardzo piękne,

Anka

Hi Jerzy,

With theeth so white you need sunglasses just to look at them. Great infecuous smile!

Czarnych oczu Oceany rozswietlaja twarz bardziej niz biel klawiatury usmiechu. Alez to urocze.
A kadr - swietny - choc wolal bym odrobine ciemniej.

Pozdrawiam

Fajna, piekny usmiech, zdrowe, biale zeby ;))).
Co do proporcji, to moze ciachnelabym troszeczke z gory i dalabym w ramke, azeby nieco "oddalic" wielkosc twarzy...Nieraz taka wielkosc wypelniajaca caly obraz jest moze ciut za wielka...Ale ogolnie piekny obraz.
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

Now Jerzy,
That's a smile, a huge one.
But your picture isn't really nice with her poor skin.
Every single detail of it :o)
Best wishes
Marc

It's good that you are taking the relay and this photo is really splendid. More than just a portrait, the smile really does make the photo. And the photo is so well presented !

Bravo, a favorite for me !
And more of this kind, please : we need this, on TE right now !

Best,
Cath.
(PS : I think that I'll create a theme with these photos as I have noticed more these last times and would like to remember them !)

Olá Jerzy
This outstanding picture says a lot about smilling, and also about Cape-Verdean girls.

just a smile. And as a smile, it sure infects most of us. And it shines nicely from your last thumbnails. But it's just a smile. It doesn't excite me as so many great photos in your gallery, Jerzy.

Nie na darmo przyl±dek nazywany jest zielonym. Bardzo ³adna g³êbia pieknie obejmujaca to co trzeba. Na bieli zêbów i w czerni ¼renic najlepiej oceniæ kunszt pomiaru swiat³a. £adniutkie, a co do kadrowania... raczej mi pasuje. Kolor skóry oddany perfekcyjnie.
Pozdrawiam,
Jurek

This is a superb one, Jerzy... quality, DOF, expression; a strong one, already at the thumbnail, cheers, Daniel

Un très beau portrait très naturel. Le bokeh est très esthétique et la composition est très bonne.
