The kid looks so Italian... Excellent expression. Beautiful B&W tones, nice simple background. Great shot, Riba.

This is such an outstanding portrait Riba - a favourite. Excellent tonal range of grayscale, great compo against the rough wall, and a perfect childish expression. Simple perfect :-D
Thank you for sharing!

Good cute kid photo. Good use of subject and B&W. Well framed and presented. An example to others.

Welcome back, Benedetto. Bellissimo ritratto di un sciuscià ligure dall'espressione annoiata e birichina. Spero di vedere ancora tante foto e di non dover aspettare di nuovo così tanto tempo.

riba this is an excellent photo! the child's face is great and the choice of b&w is spot on..the background is simplissimo and perfect to put emphasis on the child. congratulazione!

Neanché, a little note would be most welcome to give us some info about the shot, its conditions, and so on...

Very good way to use the black and white mode, you got a funny moment using too a good frame. Good contrast and gray scale.

Great expression, obviously unposed. Extremely sharp, with the wall behind her slightly blurry. I like the tones in your pix. What film/filter did you use?

sohrab (7439) 2004-09-17 3:33

Wow! What an amazing gallery you have here Riba! I can't believe I've never noticed your pics before.

This is a nice, nice portrait. The expression is unique and unposed, but what really makes this pic are those deep and rich tones!

What's your secret?

RGatward (20108) 2004-09-17 11:47

A great portrait, which I assume can't have been posed.

Enia (365) 2004-09-17 12:44

Really amazing, cute, funny and many more which I can not find the words yet. Also technically perfect for me...excellent

I love the expression on the girl's face as well. It's very emotion and you've got a nice background. The picture is also clear and sharp, with excellent contrast. I love your choice of medium. A good one! Keep them coming.

You really captured a bit of what it is to be a child... the background is perfect for this and your B&W is first-rate.
