Spontaneity, a photo from Goa, West

Photographer's Note

This girl with her small brother were under the red tent with other kids. See a previous post
She came to me with such spontaneity that I could not resist to photography her, despite the harsh light.

In the WS, you can see the little girl with more kids.

Hope you like it...

Ol� Marilyn, forget aboutthe harsh light in the background. The foreground is great and the spontaneity that you refer is very well captured. Her big laugh is contagious and I love the way the little one is holding to her hairs. Nice group portrait in ws. Tfs,
Ricardo

Salut Marilyn
Tu as une surexposition assez importante mais.... qui peut resister a un tel sourire ?
Le desordre genre'apres la fete' en arriere donne le ton, et le minois pas rassure du petit est bien evidemment craquant

Hi Marilyn - it may be sponatenaous but the focus is perfect, so much detail can be seen in the faces, (which do need a quick washing), it's interesting how the girl's hand is "censoring" the little one's privates.

Hi Marilyn!
Another great one! I thik it's great and it's amazing to see how their living conditions can't stop them from smiling. A good shot indeed!

Bonsoir Marilyn

A good dual portrait, of these happy, Indian kids, with good sharpness, colour & dof. Merci pour le partage.

Hi Marilyn,

You are wonderfully close to them, it’s amazing. Lovely lady’s pure smile while carrying her brother and his curiosity is exactly transferred your photo. Your workshop photo is also full with smiley and can be you’re another post too. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Bonsoir Marilyn,

Bonjour Marilyn
Je me replonge moi aussi dans tes belles images de ta nouvelle patrie avec toujours le m麥e plaisir.
Ces bonheurs simples, ces joies brutes parfois dans des contextes difficiles qui illuminent les yeux de ces enfants sont de vrais petits joyaux et des le輟ns � m馘iter pour tous les gamins (et adultes) de nos pays "chanceux".
superbe image
amicalement

Great title...it really sums up the photo well. I really like photo's like this. No pose or fake smile, just a sense of what the person, or people or children, are really feeling emotionally. Great color and subject. Nice and sharp with good composition also.

Great work
John
