gerard,

I remember this one from somewhere! Looks lovely - good job here.

Been away on holiday and stumbled upon it in pictures of the month - nice one and congrats!

Go well.

Colmar
gerard sexton  Thanks Colmar hope you had a good holiday I see by your latest entry that it was in a far away place! Thanks for stopping by.

Wonderfully done, Gerry! The expression on the boy's face is deeply intriguing - a Monalisa-like quality that can absorb one by the hour!

Regards,
Bill
gerard sexton  Once again thanks Bill this was taken on the London meeting we had a great day in and around Covent Garden thanks to the organisational skills of Andre!

Cracking shot Gerard! I managed to miss this kid altogether. I was probably elsewhere taking the bad shot of the day ;-) Good one!
gerard sexton  Cheers John but what I saw & what you saw will always be different perhaps because I am looking for other things & although I got this in the bag judging by what I saw on your LCD there were others that you got that I would be equally proud to have taken.
JBA  That's very nice of you to say so Gerard. I'm not sure I agree though ;-)

A little too candid
gerard sexton  Thanks Marc is this a statement about the image being too candid for your liking or about the fact its too candid for 1x?
Marc  When I write something I think with my mind, it's just a little too candid for myself.
gerard sexton  Thank you for your honesty.

Very well light on his face and nice capture of expression.
gerard sexton  Actually Ali I have recovered the face in PSE since he turning away from the light & with the hat this exaggerated the darker face. Thank you for your attention.

Fantastic portrait, I agree with Lars the more attention you give him, the more attention he gives you. Superb feel good image. :)
gerard sexton  Thank you Alex yes I had some assistance there was a man to his left who saw I was taking shots he caught my attention & gesticulated he would call the boy together we got this shot otherwise it was just going to be a profile & no real dynamic.
