Hello Fusun, what a wonderful light and what a lovely boy, such a lovely expression.
The sharpness and the DoF is really excellen, I love the light on the olives as well, that beautiful faded green of the leaves, and the shining black. very nice composition. Ido not understand the title, though.
I hope you'll have a very good time in India, will be be gone long?
Take care!! Rinie

Hi Fusun,
I like your title - it suits the boys innocent face expression! ;-D
Also I love the way he's dressed; very traditional!
Olives a great, too - both the sharp one in the FG and those blurred ones in the BG.
Regards,
Robi

This is one of the better portraits I've seen in awhile, because it's got elements not so often seen on TE. I like the olives branch full of fruit as a framing item and the backdrop of pale green. But his expression and the light in his hair really make the photo. It's a great photo.

Hi Fusun,

Just a portrait, but a very beautiful one !
I really like those olive branches so sharp as a framing for the gentle boy. And the DOF is great, the background being perfect for him.

This boy looks to me as if checking if nobody's around, so he can grab some olives. Then it fits perfectly your title :o)

Have a nice time in India !
Cheers,
Youssef

Very nice backlight. Very good composition too with the "negative space" filled with the branch (Olives?? - sorry, I grew up with pine cones.)

The light that is coming from the right is really great! Nicely captured.
Bravo, very neat.

Hi Fusun, I like this portrait. Your composition is very interesting (I love the olive branches here! So sharp) with a great balance of colors : black olives, dark red clothes, dark eyes Vs light green of the leafs, white sleeves and blond hair.
The background composed of "shining" olive leafes is perfect, and makes us focusing on the subject.
You managed a very good capture here !
