another one right on the button fantastic

sensational shot, Deborah…..love it.

Oh… stunning….what a tender capture. without words…

I love this!!!! Wonderful capture!

found some words – love the title – it says it all. This image is a study of a child in contemplation. Of course you love your kids, but even more – your work conveys profound respect for them as individuals.- one reason, i think, why your photography speaks a universal language. – I’m not blowing smoke, Deb. Not exactly a wordsmith and this is hard to express without it sounding like overblown rhetoric. So, in summary, bravo!

You wow me every time you add something but this one gets an extra big wow! Just beautiful!

Beautiful composition; heavenly silhouette, perfect tones and lighting! This is awesome!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

love the b&w you can feel the emotion of being alone, and the sky is beautiful

Incredible. Almost fell of my chair watching this. What a visual power. The light in the clouds almost burns a hole in my eye balls, which is a pleasant experience in this case. Again you transform a ‘small’ event into a experience on very large scale. I have this rock at the river where I look at the water every day. For me these are the moments in which I know who I am. When I llok at your picture I realise that I have always had my rocks at the river, as I child too. And when I was a child those moments were about feeling what I was too. In other words: your image does a lot with me again.

This has to be one of your best- just love it

Gorgeous silhouette Debs !

Your work never stops suprising me.. beautiful image Deb. Well done!!

Brilliant effect-love it….....

Very powerful image – love it!

Very emotive Deb….... sad in a way. Great work.

stunning

stunning

i think this is just so touching and personal, to me, it really is universal in that we can all relate to moments like this, at the tenderest ages too. Cracking shot.

Outstanding shot! Congrats and more power!

You have a style all of your own and It is yielding superb results!
All your work is such a pleasure to behold! Congrats Deb! :D

PERFECT!!! I lov eit!

Superb image Deborah – just wonderful!

Once again Deb, so very emotive… love it!

Beautiful silhouette Deborah

Hi Deborah! You’ve succeeded to convay the sence of lonelyness with the space around. And yet with that soft sky infront and above, you can get a sence that he isn’t quite alone. I like the crispness around the silhouette. Your boy has so much shape around him, it reminds me of a shadow puppet show, which always amazes me. Because, they only rely on shadow shape and light!

another incredible image deb. this is awsome! I’m totally blown away – I can’t even think what to say other than simply stunning!

Beautiful!
I love how the silhouette is framed so excellently with the cloud.
Another amazing photo!

What a capture!

All has been said already :))
So.. I’m joining them in the compliments :))

brilliant

its dark. its feels cold and lonely.. and hje shouldn’t be alone.. and I want to go set on that same bench. beautiful shot Deborah

You could put so many emotions to this depending on your own interpretation, love it! Great work once again Deborah!

the kid looks very small and fragile against a powerfull sky.so many interpretations,so many feelings and memories,might just as well be me sitting there.i could babble on for ever.you are a true master.

This is a place we all need to be. Very good impact capture Deborah..

The tone of this is fantastic!

:-)

Amazing sky, beautiful work of art!

Superb.

Amazing work. Beautiful image.

Beautiful shot, Deborah. This is something most of us like to do occasionally, so I’m sure it hits a nerve in so many ways.

Congratulations on this shot and all the lovely comments

fabuluos work

incredible work! the silhouette speaks so much. you photos always say something about human fate, love this very much. thanks for sharing.

This picture made me cry for a very long time. It struck something inside me, I haven’t touched upon since I was a boy and HAD to.
Your pictures have the ability to inflict real pain and/ore joy, and that is a very rear and powerful thing.
When I stopped crying it was like something ugly inside me was gone for ever.
The picture goes on my favorites shelf…

POS

This is a fantastic composition
