Yes, you are right Kath.
The title and the note are a good continuation to your previous shots.
I like how he's looking to the camara, but I think that is a bite dark the photo.

I know that you prefer colour, but I think that some of these photos (like this one) would work very well in black and white.

Carlos.

Hi Kath, you can better be an orphan in Laos than for instant Romania, I've learned from your interesting serie. Good portrait.
thanks and regards, Gerrit

UH oh,
We're in trouble; he doesn't look too impressed with things. Actually that's a good thing; I'm not too impressed either.

But your composition is wonderful. Wonderful detail and color, just enough room in the frame to allow him a little space to move; nicely blurred background. Well Done!!

Hi Kath, A nice portrait to show the expression of the boy. Good sharpness and good details. I especially like the view of the standing up hairs and the well lighted up eyes you have captured in this picture.

Hi Kath. A fine shot of a cute kid with some great eyes. He seems a bit shy and unassuming and I like that. The flash worked out well here. Nicely done Kath.

What eyes! full of innocence & I feel maybe a tinge of sadness. Very nice portrait indeed
