This is just GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

brilliant image, well done

fantastic

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” ;).

Simply stunning Deb :)

AWESOME deborah! Love it = ) and can relate to the story lol all too well.

This is so sweet Deb! Love it!

awesome is the right word….wow

Awesome, how do you do this… I love your B/W’s, the finish is amazing.. Great combo family/ wine/ photography/ and Christmas… perfect…

Great image. Your kid sounds cute – lol.

Fantastic light,superb shot.

Wonderful work Deb – love the textures and composition!

Beautiful mood

Gorgeous shot. Love this. Happy Holidays

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..

Perfect and serene….and then you read the description :))) too good, made me laugh.

Wonderfully capture Deb – one of my favorites

Stunning as usual Deb….. perfect light and textures
Yes us dads are pretty useful sometimes

this is a very strong image, welldone

Subdued and lovely.

Once again, another “Parkinly” beautiful image.

Superb, magical, hauntingly beautiful – love it, Deborah!

Beautiful, Deb!

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

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

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.

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

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

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!!!

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

love this one, Deb!

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

oh wow how awsome…love it my friend…

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

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

thank you everyone for your lovely comments – much appreciated :0)

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

What a great shot, great lighting

Very nice one!

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.

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)

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments – really appreciate it.

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.

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

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.

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.

...wizardess?!

thanks everyone for your really thoughtful comments – i am so pleased this image is creating a story for you – always appreciated.

Fantastic – such a classic, timeless piece, i adore this!!!!!!!

Perfect composition Deb….......I love it!
