As the great Einstein said:

"the pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives"

Because you wonderful picture I will feel myself children during 1 hour....

Lovely image of Gijs Petra.
Love the tonal values.
Hendrik

Petra Oldeman Thanks Hendrik. He was such an easy child to photograph. Every now and then you get a "model" that always looks right!

I think the contrasts are good, and the composition is okay. I like the expression in the kids face and the way he is sitting, but my eyes are drawn both upwards and downwards in the pictureframe as the sky is showing in the treetops and the light is brighter on the ground. Also the left of the couch is taking my attention away from the kid.

Mats

Petra Oldeman Think you are right about that Mats. There is always so much to improve when looking back at a photo. Thank you very much for the effort of writing your opnion.
Much apreciated!

Petra

Mats Torbergsen Yeah, i know! :) i look at my 6 month old images and hate most of them :D But i guess it's a good indication of improvement. Keep it up :)

I don't like the angle and the central composition and the unatural pose of the child... if I was the nazi-screener I'd rejected this photo, but as you are head screener you passed.
I really don't understand this screening method, as though the screeners were professional photographers, but it is not like that, so what is this screening thing?
Art must be free, cannot be screened, screening is a stupid thing for stupid people.
You can report me and delete my account, I'll appreciate.
How can you screeners judge my photos if your photos are crap?
I know everyone here will be happy of my comment, all those who feel frustrated and cannot reply cause it's against the LAW (lol), this is crap, those people should rebel and leave such nazi sites.
Of course you'll delete it to preserve the false normality of this site.
We're not sheeps as you want us to be. This is not art, but a group of sheeps.... beeeeeey

Hee, die is goed, had ik gemist. Gijs kijkt nogal bedrukt maar zorgt daarmee wel voor de juiste "lading". Goed werk met fantasie samengesteld.

Hey, that's great, I missed this one. The boy looks a bit depressed but that makes the impact for this one. Great work made with fantasy.

prachtplaat en zeer raaie compositie ..kleurtoon is mooi Complimenten Petra!

Petra Oldeman Dank je wel Peter! beetje bij beetje begeef ik me op een gebied (mensen portretteren), waarin ik niet ervaren ben maar wat wel fantastisch is om te doen. :)
