This is so beautiful Deborah! I love the big stone wall, it has such a feel to the whole scene. Reminds me a little of the match stick girl!

Douzy, 7 months ago

Amazing piece. Love the darkness with just that little bit of candle light in the middle. The expression on the child’s face with the thumb in the mouth is priceless. Just like David, my favourite of yours “by a country mile” ;).

Michael Oubridge, 7 months ago

Deb this deserves more than just a nice comment. Fantastic image.. If you ever go back.. get a bit closer to show the face more.. and the candle flame.. the detail of the stone will show up more also.. This is a wonderful place to capture.. No complaining a bit.. but I am just trying to find improvement when you post.. its not easy.. you do so well..

Lisadee, 7 months ago

Beautiful, Deb!

Kitsmumma, 7 months ago

Candle light is so magical, this is such a wonderful shot Deb, cold but warm, if you know what I mean. Beautiful work.

Mel Brackstone, 7 months ago

hehehe….you do make it look easy though Deb.

Halcyon007, 7 months ago

Very funny story Deb LOL.

The lighting here is just amazing. It really appears that the candlelight is the only source but its powerful enough to light up the whole wall.

This must have been very hard to capture and its been done superbly.

Basia McAuley, 7 months ago

Love this composition and the warm glow from the candle near the otherwise cold stony surrounding, great work once again.

Benjamin Scheurer, 7 months ago

Deborah….this just became one of my favourite shots from your portfolio!
I really love the atmosphere you captured here…

Deborah Parkin, 7 months ago

thanks everyone for you lovely comments and encouragement – as always i really appreciate them :0)
Thanks Chuck – just to let you know i do have more shots here and some are closer – i will probably post it but a bit unsure as Abe is pulling a bit of a funny face LOL!!!

Daniel Rarela, 7 months ago

endearing, cute… yet still serious and dramatic in some way…

love this one, Deb!

Melissa Kosswig, 7 months ago

you can almost see the flame flickering :) really wonderful..

Aphoto4You IPA, 7 months ago

oh wow how awsome…love it my friend…

ECGardner, 7 months ago

How stunning, and what tonal range this shot has! And it’s nice to know that my little one isn’t the only one with wild hair that refuses to have it tied back. :P

cdwork, 7 months ago

Stunning work- Love the texture and the light- You’ve captured a look of wonderment which is amazing

Deborah Parkin, 7 months ago

berndt2, 7 months ago

That’s got such a wonderful mood to it – really well done (and it looks brilliant framed, too!)

stephen jones, 7 months ago

What a great shot, great lighting

Georgi Bitar, 7 months ago

Very nice one!

Paul Tupman, 7 months ago

Fantastic dark image Deb.. such a wonderful image with great composition, lighting and interesting textures in the wall.. I love how you can look at this and read so many different sub contexts into this.. a portrait of a child that for me contains many adult themes.. the result of a well thought out piece.

Birgitta, 7 months ago

Outstanding work here! Truly…
and I agree, the tonal range is spactacular.
What a beautiful place and it looks like you had a great time. :)
One of your best shots. (in my opinion)

Deborah Parkin, 7 months ago

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments – really appreciate it.

Graham Dean, 7 months ago

I love your light Deb, and I equally love your shadows, both come together so beautifully to create warmth and security. What a wonderful picture.

Louise Cooke, 7 months ago

Wine or camera…difficult choice Deb! Wonderful light as always with your images and the quiet mood, with his thumb in his mouth..gorgeous!

Martin Derksema, 7 months ago

Very well seen, Deborah. Love the love in it. A picture with a very high literary level. You should hire someone to carry the wine.

shawhouse, 7 months ago

such beautiful textures & tones. the composition is perfect. another image that gently insists that we pay attention, there’s a story being spun… Deb, you’re a wizard.

shawhouse, 7 months ago
