Possible title: “The bear doesn’t listen”

Hi Deborah, I love the story here the little girl not to happy with her teddy or has she been told off for something she has done or not done I love the square and the leading lines this has a wonderful composition

great shot

So beautiful, such a sweetness & sadness

A fantastic image and so beautiful

Another great one Deborah.

Are you new to RB? LOL
I had to look twice to make sure it was you.
It is nice to see that you have not lost your touch Deb, and still maintaining your high standards of B&W work.
Excellent work Deb.
Nice to see you again.

Excellent

oh what a lovely B&W. emotive work, Deborah.
love the post-process too. well done :)

Hi Deborah, this is so brilliant. Love the tonal range and how the vignetting, which is drawing me right into the scene of the little girl! Having read the reply you have given to above, makes me think of a title, “When is daddy coming?”

Wow Deb, simply divine, Fleur looks so vunerable. A strong thought provoking image.
Hope you enjoy your bank holiday weekend :)

beautiful emotive work…...... I need to give this little treasure a hug!!!!

This is something truly special

Beautiful and sad,, love the vignetting which highlights the girl,, well done.

Love the tones and comp of this image…. must be serious if teddy has been discarded… would be funny to reshoot this when she is a sulking teenager….

Very thought provoking and I love that in an image
well done

Great image, Deb! Unsettling.

beautiful work deborah, i so love the mood here and how the empty room adds to it. ;-) xox

oh my…...................this is just beautiful.I have missed seeing your work!

ah I hope the little girl was play acting..if not I hope she was only a little sad for a short while…otherwise a very good piece of work

How powerful! Quite emotive and could bring me to tears! That is great art!

your work never ceases to inspire me – this is no exception. Beautiful stuff!

The grain on the floor boards, the shadows from the drapes. Even panda feels Fluer’s drama. How brilliant to capture these details then give them such an important role in the emotion. I love too that I’ve been inspired by your art to include my kids in the process of making my art. It’s great Deb.

You are just tooooooo good !!! Wonderful work as always Deb

Sooooo good to see you again Deb.. This is a wonderful image, as always impeccable BW and your ability to tell a story and capture the moment is perfect. Wonderful work..

so emotive. a truly great photograph.

Fantastic work Deb… this piece is full of emotion and I love the composition of this. The attention to detail of the framing with the curtains is brilliant but most of all I love your choice of setting and how the room appears to envelope the little girl… all enhanced by the vignetting.
Great to see some of your college work!

Excellent as usual…............

A very moving image.

Hey Stranger….This is really an amazing piece…..the power of her being in the center of the image and in her fetile position…just so powerful and it brings so many questions to the image…..BRAVO my dear friend..It was worth the wait

fantastic work.

Great image.
Nice framing.

Emotional and powerful piece Deborah.

I blame the teddybear.

This is so emotional… I almost wish it wasn’t captured because it looks so real and sad. You did it excellently..

Aside from the great subject and composition I love the softness over all!
Very nice!!

amazing and touching

Excellent! Very emotion provoking!

We are very proud to have you as a member and your work is well deserving of being featured!

wonderful work Deborah

outstanding

This is AWESOME!

The beauty of your images Deb is that you can never tell if their staged or just natural. I mean this appears set up to a degree but also looks like such a natural and true event (with trademark vigentting (I know that’s probably spelt wrong!)) focusing the eye on the image for maximum impact. Hope University’s been benicial for you

Beautiful work, Deb….sorry I missed this in my activities! Love the beautiful soft background as a foil to your little girl….so atmospheric.

Hello ,Deborah my name is Craig Cantrell,
you do very lovely back an white Photography. I looked at your site your work is very nicely done awesome site.

beautiful work

Very nice work Deb! The mood and the emotion just oozes out of this image.

You could write a story here and then some….an excellent photo and the ambience is amazing!

love it! how did they like it on your course?

Beautifully and hauntingly emotive. Her isolation is reinforced by the combination of posture, position and the distance from her remaining friend. Wonderfully composed and shot to create a heart wrenching image.

Massive emotion in this Deborah. I too am sorry I missed it…

I love the way you use the floorboards to draw me in and the slight vignetting just puts the right emphasis on the girl and her bear who is helpless at being able to console her as she ponders on deep childhood thoughts. You have an amazing way of making us feel these emotions and bringing out the simple reality that we’ve all been there at some level. Beautifully done, such a worthy submission.

It’s also the first time I’ve ever noticed an angled bay window radiator. Thought you might have done it in Photoshop… so I Googled bay wondow radiators. Sho-nuff, they had one exactly like the one in your pic. I’m so stoopid.
xo

“my bear won’t talk to me any more”

thats superb to me. well done.

wow this is excellent… the edit.. lighting… shadows.. alll very well done

missed this Deb! As always, you have the amazing ability to draw the viewer deep into the world of children. I remember this feeling like it was yesterday! You portray her emotion so strongly – awesome!
Hope all is well with you :)))

This is a very dramatic photograph. Wonderful use of light and perfect in mono. Well done, this is a fav of mine.

Super image Deborah, how is your course going?

If you were looking for an image with impact, it certainly has that…

such a beautiful, moving image. the subject is perfect and the composition is extremely effective!

HOw beautiful, and after reading what it means to you – even more so… :)

amazingly emotional picture!

Great capture!!

Wow!

This is lovely yet very sad, I have notice a number of your photos represent isolation from a child’s perspective. Well achieved.

OMG your pictures of children are wonderful. i love all of them.

Awesome. Your web site rocks, as well.

This is very beautiful and so sweet. How do you create the wonderful oval vignette effect? It adds such a fascinating dream quality to your work. It looks sensational in monochrome.

Really, I have tried burning with clouds and shadows now and then, how do you manage it so uniformly?

Absolutely beautiful b&w….very emotional too!

Brilliant!!

your art is adorable!

Definitely tells a story!!!! Great capture!!!

I do a lot of work for the NSPCC and this image has instantly hit me… The vulnerablitiy of this image is amazing… YOu have as always captured such amazing emotion… A powerful shot Deborah…

It makes perfect sense Deborah and this is portrayed in your artwork… Simply beautiful and touching xx

Deborah, your images are so powerful, you have such a talent for conveying the sadness of a child. Your shadows and tones are just stunning- congratulations.

I agree with Dennis… stunning and powerful.. wow….

Oh, this shot breaks my heart. My little niece used to sit in the window waiting for me to pull up with her little toys packed ready to bring along for our adventures.
I miss her dearly.
You’ve brought tears to my eyes.

tes photos on un style unique,une ambiance bien particulière ,tu as beaucoup de talent,bravo
