a 366 photo challenge for 2012 - I have joined the friendly crowd at Elements Village on the web and have decided to start at 'A' and follow the 366 themes daily - I like the idea that I will need to take (or make) images that will stretch my skills and imagination - and if I throw in a few extras just for fun - forgive me - OK? Trying to stay focused for a whole year will be a challenge in itself - wish me luck and come and visit anytime...

January 29 - Boy
This portrait of my nephew's son was taken on impulse as he stood against one of the shed doors on my sister-in-law's farm. No posing, he was just waiting there for his grandfather and it just looked right.
I just turned around and grabbed the moment, I love the texture of the old door and the contemplative look on his face - minutes before this he was jumping mud puddles in the paddock.
Wonderful photo...the expression, color palette and composition work together to make it so. The feeling is almost reminiscent of the old days when a boy had to go out to the wood shed to get his "whooping" as a result of misbehavior!!
Great shot...great facial expression
ReplyDeleteAnguish of youth, it says to me, I guess Grandpa had a treat in store!
ReplyDeleteBoy I'll say it looked right. That's a keeper for sure.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot =)
ReplyDeleteLove the contrast of his soft complexion against the texture of the barn.......you certainly captured a pensive moment.

ReplyDeleteGreat shot Iris. Lovely lighting and how you managed to make him stand still is beyond me...lol...
