apple

its a beautiful image deborah

So gorgeous Deborah…..........love the woods behind her, and the pure innocence …...

I can fully understand what you see in this image Deb, it speaks of so many things that encompass childhood as the ideal we would like it to be for all children, full of wonderment, innocence and innate curiosity. Wonderful, and as you already mention, timeless!

Another amazing b&w Deb.

Marion has pinned it well: it’s so evocative of a time, a feeling, a space. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful depth of field here Deb! Love the monochrome :)

I think it opens up the really thoughtful and inqusitive side of childhood, where the will and desire to learn and discover is at its highest (and easiest as anyone trying to learn something new later in life will testify!)

You end uop lost in the image just trying to read her thoughts, wondering what she’s thinking with the slight wry smile that parents have that their children are seeking such joy in the most mundane and simple of objects.

Brilliant as always Deb. So much life in this.

No wonder you came back here…........this little lady has a wonderful expression on her face, its childhood personified!
Lovely image!!

Timeless is a label I’d put on all your work Deb, but especially apple. The background is as artistic as your very endearing subject. The clarity and detail makes the picture even more captivating. There’s lots you could say, but its just wonderful to be on the other side of the world and able to see your brilliant “clicks” : )

awesome shot

It’s a beauty Deb!!

Your pictures are always outstanding and this is no exception Deb.

This is a real WOWZER, Deb! My eye was immediately drawn in
by the vignetting, not only that but the balance of the exposure
even down to the well balanced lighting/exposure of her ring! It’s
the little things like that, that grab my attention and speak of your
skill. So much story here and a well done piece needs no words, such
as this. (It tells it’s own story.) I can add nothing “more” to this-
smiling & saying, simply: “bravo”. :)

nice

No explanations needed – the image speaks for itself and tells a lot!

Perfect moment capture Deborah..
Chuck..

This is so fantastic! Number one….I love the mood it promotes, number two….I love the tones on it and number three….the subject is that of sweet innocense. Perfect all the way around! :)

You kept coming back to it because it is an eloquent image. Children have this wonderful relationship with the physical world (we lose it as we get older) and that is what I sense here.

wonderful – it does have a timeless quality

Her facial expression would bring you back every time. She look so intent and fascinated. A beatiful BW portrait capturing a special moment in time.

Beautiful! A perfect capture. Love the intensity.

This is just another magical image..the DOF is so perfect..and I love her expression of innocence..You have such an amazing knack of capturing the inner soul of whoever you photograph….Just pure brilliance….I have watched you grow by leaps and bounds since I have known you….your sklll level has improved…yes…but more importantly…your vision has really exploded.

Its a beautiful portrait Deb of an Innocent child eating an apple, that is why it keeps on coming back to you. Well done!

Great one Deb…. it doesn’t seem that long ago your daughter wasn’t much bigger than that apple….. classic Parkin

fantastic

Beautiful shot…she is adorable!
