Hold on to your Dreams, a photo from Delhi, North

Photographer's Note

I took this one in b/w. The li'l baby sleeping and yet holding on to her mother's hand for hand reassurance...perhaps. All by the window of a train.

Aadiil
This is a simple yet very touching and meaningful composition. I like you relatively wide angle composition that makes this photo very relief with an accent on a baby's hand.
B/w choice is definitely good for this portrait-documentary photo.
Thank you for sharing

Black+white is the right choice for this scene!

Hi Aadiil,
what I love here is the face expression(beautiful,like an angel),
the great grainy look(just like it should be here,not too much),
and nice green tones chosen.The framing it's not optimal,
my opinion.I would like too see more in left and less in right.
For my eye this photo looks like unfinished.Great work!

Lovely composition Aadiil - full of warmth & tenderness. I like the tight crop & the strong diagonal feel created by the position of the baby. A little over exposed in a couple of places - but not disasterously so. The grainyness in the darker areas works well too. Best regards, Roberto

Hi Aadiil,
A nice scene of mother care, framed tight but enclosing the essential. The BW seems to incorporate a bit of green, possibly an effect of the white balance ?
Have a nice day JY

Hi Aadil,
A sweet shot with a nice sentiment. I like the natural light from the window and the way you have chosen to compose the shot. The childs hand is the nicest element in the shot.
Regards
Wanda

Hello Aadiil,

Nice and tender shot! I like the peaceful sleep and how you captured it. What I especially like here is the very tight crop in your compo. The toning is very pleasant as well. Often, people choose the brown-tones and often that makes a compo too soft. This keeps it nicely contrasted!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hello Aadiil,

Terrific photo, there is a great deal of peace and reassurance in this photo. I like the look of the woolen sleeve of the adult and the knitted pattern of the baby's clothes. The gripping hand is beautiful. I like the little bit of grain in this photo. I find that grain is bad in colour photos but often adds character to black and white photography. The image is very well framed, there is a good balance between the subject and the frame, and i like the fine black edging. Great photo!

Matt

nice shot well composed candid pose of the kid.

pboehringer (770) 2008-02-17 20:06

Aadiil,
a very simple moment in life. Huge sensitivity from your part to see and frame it so tightly. The boy's holding speaks a lot of love, trust and reassurance, but this image speaks also alot about the photographer that took this shot.

hi aadil,
this song (Hold On To Your Dream) fits well this heart-warming foto....

since you were born pushed into corner
and left all alone
told what to do, obey all the rules
be just like everyone else those fools
day at the school
teacher's a bully
you're mobbed as a rule
nothing from TV
your folks are away
you are trapped inside this house you must stay - home

now it's time for you to move on
leave the shadows of your past
don't let them haunt you forever

hold on to your dream
somewhere there's a beam of hope
which is guiding your way through the dark
this is your chance
your love, your romance
hold on to your dream and never give up
in your life - hold on to your dream.

TFS. fitting capture in BW tones.
benedict

Hello Aadiil

A very harmonious composition, full of tenderness and love.

The sepia tones could not be better. The approach emphasizes strongly in the frame, a scene full of confidence and security on the part of those involved, congratulations.

Bonsoir Aadiil,
j'avais raté cette superbe photo d'enfant. Tu as eu un excellent réflexe.
Bonne soirée

Kind greetings, Aadiil,
this photo touched a chord within me. I see my four month old grandson seeking the reassurance you are still there. I like that side lighting and it is beautiful in B&W. I like the soft, kind of dreamy focus. It is perfect for this shot. Many thanks and kind regards,
Shelly

It's a cute one, dear Aadil, as I told you, your photos of people are great too ! please, alternate a bit with your lovely golden arches and perspectives sometimes, - but of course, only if you feel like it !
A very nice moment,
Compliments,
Cath.
