Yo Kajal,

I like this very stylises photo.... mixed with the nice clean white boarder the texture of the centre photo really stands out. The light coming through onto the baby creates an interesting effect... also the colour and grain.

Cheers

Kaj, thank you so much. This photo is truly lovely, although not exactly in your normal style. It almost has the look of an old glass plate negative or something. I love the bracelets on his wrist. It is a beautiful photo Kaj and I am touched by your kindness.

hello Kaj,
a mesmerising image. This baby being both beautiful and vulnerable.I believe that all children born into this world should be welcomed, no matter how difficult the circumstance of their birth. Life starts anew and we must celebrate.
Thanks for the link to Darren's special event. he too shares some wonderful and touching pictures.
regards
Bev

An enormously powerful image, Kajal, a profoundly moving image, a gut-wrenching, fetal, celebratory image of the potential of life.

Waste? Some will say no life is a waste. Others will claim waste or usefulness are both illusions of purpose in a purposeless, indifferent universe.

But while we have the choice let us celebrate.

Hi Kajal,

you´re an artist... not only technically, but it comes deep from your heart.

Hello Kajal,
This is a beautiful photo you took.
Great cropping and most of all this old paper effect.
The white frame gives an extra dimension to your photo
Well done
Estelle
