A beautiful shot of father and son, very special. Love what you have done here, has an almost 70’s surf culture feel to it. Great work Deb.
lightsmith
What a brilliant silhouette. I love the halo-effect that the hair creates. It looks like a very poignant moment and you have captured it wonderfully.
Angela Stewart
Oh WOW, this has to one for the lounge room wall!!! Just one little irk that may not bother anyone else, but that tinsy spot of light in the bottom left hand corner is slightly distracting to me (I hope you don’t mind me saying so!). Other than that I LOVE this image Deb…it’s breathtaking!
Deborah Parkin
thank you everyone – really appreciate the comments – by the way this is a celebration of fatherhood and never meant to anyone (just in case) Debxx Thanks for looking

You really placed them into the footlight on the stage of your life. This could be the poster of a movie. I love what you did with the dark and grey tones. Beautiful lightning.

Of all your work Deb I believe this is my fav. I love the way the whole shot is assembled. We all have our stories and this takes me back to deep memories of my childhood. The simple title, for me, highlights the connection formed in the silouhette. Beautifully moving piece. Thankyou.
rebecca zachariah
Oh…..this is just lovely. Very meaningful
WitheringMoon

REAL GEM !!!

Lovely, moving. Beautiful black and white. Sorry for too much information, but your image hits home right now. Lots of reflection on father-son stuff in the shawhouse house of late. I’m a father of two boys and have been dragged through a minor rollercoaster ride of emotions this week. I just sat (paced) helplessly by while my youngest had back surgery. The patient’s sore but recovering. Our silhouette would look a little different. I’m 5’6”, he’s 6’4”. On second thought, maybe it would look about the same….And tonight my older son escorts his beautiful wife to the Emmy Awards! Yep. (Emmys are for TV in the US. The non-broadcast “Creative Awards” are tonight, the primetime show next week) He’s an editor, his first nomination, thankyouveddymuch…. I’m gonna hurt my back taking bows. But enough about me…What was the subject? Right, your picture! I’m without words :)
Deborah Parkin
thank you so much everyone – your response has been amazing – i suppose we have all been a child or are now parents
