Delightful Image,
Wonderfully candid capture.
Very cute capture.
Marvelous image, I like the manipulation's effect too !!
Kids always ask.
delightful capture and good for the children having a teacher beside one can ask 😀
I love the grainy quality of this, Harry, and the very strong contrasts of light and dark. It's really a powerful piece of postwork. And then, you captured a terrific expression on the child's face: a fine spontaneous capture (street photography, without the street). The mother---I assume she's the one in front---has a great calming expression. And the aquarium window seems slanted; and, in your composition, it just seems like a plunging 'other world' Terrrific work on this.
Harry, I'd intended to do a long session here yesterday, but I got waylaid by minor health matters, and didn't do a thing all day and night. I'll be back for a longer session soon. And thank you for your comments. And I understand your reaction to Eric: He was a protean, crazed guy, and a lot of people had trouble being around him. Though, if you saw him in person, he'd probably turn on the charm---esp after several drinks. (How do people drink that much and stay sober?) But I understand your response; and it was one of the reasons I almost didn't post the piece: He's a lot to swallow. Thanks for your other comments too. (And I will write you back, I promise.) Your photo of the woman with the grocery cart was quite poignant, as was your description. I'll be back soon.
