I just wanted to let you know that I added this to the thread of pictures that most inspired us. LInk
This really inspired me because it's beautiful, it really moved me, and it's a great capture of a touching story. I used to say that I didn't want to do pictures with people in them, but this has changed my mind. I really want to learn how to capture true beauty in people, just as you have in this photo.
Wow... this almost brought me to tears... I have a very close friend who lost her son to cancer, so this one touches me. I wish I could find the face painter and give her a hug.
I thought this was a great shot. Very nice colors and the stare just gets to you. Tells a story without words and a very lucky (skilled?) capture. Well done.
She's a beautiful girl, and this is an excellent shot of a priceless moment. I don't "pity" these children, but my heart goes out to them. The only unfortunate thing in your shot is that the background is similar to the skintone. A little more "contrast" there would have made it a very punchy shot. I understand that was out of your control, but it's just a wish, you know? :)
What a beautiful story behind this picture. I was at festival and know the hair booth you’re talking about. It really touches my heart to visualize this scene and the air brush artist being sensitive enough to make her feel special. Congratulations on a well deserved top 10. Incredible portrait.
This pic is amaizing, not only for the quality, but the story behind.
She looks like a fighter, and the look in her eye is so much older that it should be and it's so contradicting with the Cirque du Soleil painting she has.
Congrads and good luck to her and her family.
Think there's any way of getting this picture to here and her family?
Ohmy!! What an amazing photo on so many levels! The photo itself is perfect in every way: lighting, focus, depth of field, color richness (Wow!!!!). But you almost get an instant involuntary lump in your throat when you see that pretty little face and smile obviously suffering the ravages of chemo or something!
Why on earth wouldn't you be pleased - it is clearly your best scoring photo - and a really well composed image! Congratulations.
By way of (hopefully) constructive criticism, you have over used neat image, which, to an extent, detracts from the emotion potentially created by an image of this nature.
stunning. So Young, So Beautiful! I wish her the best whoever she may be! I hope she has a copy of this image to show her children and her grandchildren who i pray she one day meets! 10
I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.
Cute child. Children are so easily captured, however, for candids. I like the paint and all, but I dont' see much emotion being exuded from this photo. The photo is more about the artwork to me with the painting. It takes away the emotion. It's a 5 vote from me.
Bless her!! What a nice capture. Love the clarity and her expression. I might have less of a tight crop and more negative space, but given the situation, maybe that isn't possible.
Lovely shot, colors and composition are awesome. My only nit pick (and I'm not letting this effect the score as it is MHO) is a little too much neat image. I can tell by the look in this young girl's eyes that she is a warrior and will overcome her illness. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
