Hi Mohammad,

A meaningful dedication to all mothers with one of your beautiful photos as usual. You perfectly captured baby's sensation while using splendid shallow depth of field control. Great one, congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Hi Mohammad,
Excellent image, flood of peace, of feelings and of tenderness to celebrate the Mother's Day, which in Spain was celebrated last May 4.
I like how you have managed the depth of image, with the face of the baby a bit got out of focus, it seems that you do not want to wake up him.
A beautiful work.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Hi Mohammad,
it´s perfect that you focused on the hands and that the head is blurred, this is a symbol for the sleep to me.
Compliments, also for the note, Chris

Beautiful image. I really like how you focused on the blanket and let the face of the baby appear faded, suggesting his peaceful sleep. Excellent use of light shadow play.

Hallo Mohammed,

a beautiful and fitting entry, and a good reason to post this photo. I'm impressed that you know about this mothers day even though in Iran you don't celebrate this date.
The photo is very well made. The carefully chosen focus leaves the head of the baby blured which corresponts nicely with the dreams the child perhaps had in that moment.
Thanks for sharing this photo....

Hi Mohammad,
That is simply excellent!
The shooting angle and narrow selective DOF gives great visual impact. I like the subtle light too!
Superb tribute to all our mothers!

erdo (569) 2008-05-13 13:34

dear Muhammet , this must be Rayan sleeping in peace and security. A blanket put on us by our mum keeps all the dangers and difficulties away. But when we get adult people need even more iron blankets to feel the same safeness and security.
lots of regards,
erdogan

Hi Mohammed,
His eyes closed, blanket on him, his little hands together...
I am not a mother, but I can't think anything more peaceful more meaningful then your lovely model sleeping.
Great dedication for all mothers... TFS

A delicate and sensitive image. And also original in its presentation, love the way you played with the focus here, it gives the whole a dreamy and tender effect. That piece of green blanket provides a touch of color. Very good work Mohammad, intemporal yet unusual.

Best regards

A picture shrouded in love!
I like very, very much the mood, my friend!
Hopeful future, I think is the message transferred through your image!
Love guided your hand to capture the moment! I know it very well!
The focus on hands is the meaning of conducting the future events, in my opinion of course, I suppose in yours, too!

Fine work!
Best wishes,
Athanasios.

teutza (10590) 2009-03-19 7:30

Hello Mohammad,
here in Romania we celebrate mother's day together with woman's day on the 8th of march, but it's more like a woman's day:), so no speciall day for our mothers.
i like the focus here..and the colour:)
