the kid gets a bit of colour, the lady spares herself a tad of green apart from the unadorned
natural spectrum...nice photo...the focus is good the play of tones is a little on the dark side
on my monitor, however the colour is very pleasant as is the humanity nature.
****It is, as Kal says, a story telling portrait. The mother holds the hand of the child, and that makes all the difference here in terms of the human values expressed. The composition is cohesive -- the mother, child, and dog become one here. The duck and doll work add context to this image, which is all about security and support.
Every element of the picture tells the story, from the little modern dinosaur, the comfort doll, to the dog and to the grandmother...this child is surrounded by the things that give him security...beautiful Jen, beautiful. K
