Smiling ....in thoughts, a photo from Bucuresti, East

Photographer's Note

I was always fascinated by kids's faces,very expressive
I don't have much to say except that she is beautiful.She was almost lost in thoughts...still smiling
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view,but can we be again kids,to understand their thoughts?

Image taken inside of Luminarium,difficult light :)

Hi Isabela,
But can we be again kids? Indeed that is the question. The painters of the Cobra-group tried to paint with the open mind and spontaneity of a child. Many people said about their paintings that their children painted as well, not knowing how difficult it is for a grown up the have the innocence of a child again.

Chiar expresiva imaginea fetitei.
Dar in alb /negru... este super si ai facut o prelucrare excelenta.

Is it blowing air from the hole? How did you get the motion in the hair?
Yes, one of the most beautiful children photos in your gallery. And she has a very photographic face, and the fact you even found a child photo opportunity in Luminarium is awesome. You are like a child magnet :)))
Thank you Dear Isa for this magical one.
Güle güleeeee :)))

Hello Isabela,
Beautiful picture of a beautiful girl. I liked the B&W concept and the expression captured. Very sharp and clear picture.Thanks for the share.
Regards,
Smitha.

xavis (3180) 2007-10-07 14:30

Hola,
yes you have took the perfect moment in this portrait. There are something very special in this picture. The mouvement of hair it gives a soft dynamism and her face very expressive it gives the intensity of this picture.
B&W is the best choice.

Congratulations,

Javier

designsoul (17843) 2007-10-07 14:44

Isabela, she is beautiful! And beyond that, your capture of her is fantastic as her hair is flowing in the air, with her face arrested in this dreamlike, beautiful, open expression. Wonderful work, Isabela, your model is heartwrenchingly lovely, giving me so much joy just to look at. Bravo, especially for the difficult light!

You did a great job here, one has to smile when looking at this picture.
Isabela, very difficult to go back to our childhood, but we can try to remember what we felt as best we can.

Yes, Isabela, you got something special with portraying kids. this is superb, in b/w, the positioning of her against the material, the hair, the ivory looking skin and that dreamy-happy ? expression, magnetic eyes, it all remains a bit mysterious and that's just great. Very beautiful and poetic.
