Excellent portrait, beautiful colors! Brava!


Miguel Cary   {K:816} 8/10/2003
..this is so nice...


Kaja Lund   {K:207} 8/10/2003
Oh what a lovely photo! But you should know better than to try to direct two year old kids! It?s impossible. And often it comes out just beautiful anyway - like on your beauiful picture.


Michel Bordeleau   {K:638} 8/10/2003
Just lovely. Very nice scene and very good atmosphere. I like the color tones.


Alex Uchôa   {K:18547} 8/10/2003
WOW, very delicad work, Louise. Liked the way you worked the photo in PS to add a pleasure and light athomosfere to the image. The pose of the kids is also another plus in the image. Very intersting.


José Eduardo Cruz   {K:13180} 8/10/2003
Oh!!! How soft and wonderfull shot!!!!!


Patricia Eifel   {K:5097} 8/10/2003
Absolutely wonderful!! The image is endearing. Also technically excellent with great tonal range, good choice of tone and appropriate choice of selective color which enhances the image and the mood. Very well done!


Flavio Trindade   {K:1023} 8/10/2003
children, the future! very nice work, excelent post work!


Rawabi Al-Nuaimi   {K:15659} 8/10/2003
soo cute... i love the colors..


Titia Geertman   {K:5579} 8/10/2003
How beautiful this is. Oh how I wish I could learn toning in PSP. I'm just still playing around, not knowing exactly what I'm doing.
I love the sepia with the soft colors. Bravo!

Titia


Shalom Bar Tal   {K:139} 8/10/2003
Original?..and a high quality photo.


Tommaso Di Falco   {K:23744} 8/10/2003
Marvelous shot well composed and with a good treatment.
Tones so nice...
enjoy, Tommaso
P.s. Nice camera... ;-)


Gerry Vincent   {K:3154} 8/10/2003
Outstanding work Louise. No need to have these cuties look at you. Its perfect as is. I would love to be able to tone in PS as good as this. Maybe you could post an article on how you achieved this or leave a comment here on how you did this.


Carlos Sabino Villalba   {K:203} 8/10/2003
Very nice scene and very good atmosphere.

Thank you for your comment about my photo...

Felicitações !!!


Günter Koth   {K:13841} 8/10/2003
What a nice shot, Luise. Great toning and wonderful selective colors. Very emotive and technically flawless. My compliments. Regards, Günter.


Louise Vessey   {K:13859} 8/10/2003
Thanks for all the nice comments. The toning was quite simple actually. First I created a duplicate layer of the original colour image. I have a sepia action which basically was created by using image/adjust/hue-saturation and colourized it to get that sepia tone. I toned the top layer and then created a layer mask to 'colour thru the clothing. I desaturated the original to mute the colours. The hair I just picked a blonde tone and coloured over. That's it!


T L   {K:18928} 8/10/2003
Yes, it's nothing but a great shot and well toned. Impressing. Congrats!


cecilia tovini   {K:29364} 8/10/2003
Very suite. Beautifull picture. Cecilia


T Glow   {K:14955} 8/10/2003
Lovely & splendid work!! one of your best!!! Regards,T.


Richard Blount   {K:9145} 8/10/2003
A really wonderful portrait of two children, the PS treatment is first class too, I am going to add it to my favourites, well done - Richard.


Robert Whiteman   {K:2261} 8/10/2003
Well I think it's a more engaging photo with them NOT looking at the camera. Seems the average subject gets that look when they notice they're on candid camera even if it isn't so candid. The color effects are splendid on this which is pretty much standard for your stuff. I think the rest of us have come to expect that from you. (feeling the pressure now??? ;-) You could probably take off half of the left side and not miss it but it's not bad the way it is either so...take your pick as they both would work just as well as I see it.

Nice to see you "out and about" again. Get a break from your bizzy schedule?


Vladislav Klima   {K:3660} 8/10/2003
Very nice photo. Interesting for me (the child photography). Very good perspective (the great road arround the children). Well seen. Vladislav


Rui Palha   {K:13851} 8/10/2003
Very nice shot, good work.


Anna    {K:2994} 8/10/2003
Louise, this picture is IMO much better and natural BECAUSE they don?t look in the camera! Sooo beautiful!!!


Ronny Van Eeckhoutte   {K:12734} 8/10/2003
Excellent choice of tones, for a lovely double portrait. Wonderful composition and lightning BUT beautiful family!!!! Great moment! Rgds.


Marília Ferraz   {K:-4496} 8/10/2003
Hi Louise, glad that didn't. You got a winner in here. Soft and tender portrait, very natural and lovely. Great work. Marília.


Hakan Aker   {K:14146} 8/10/2003
Hi Louise,this is one of the best pics that I've seen today ..They are so cute.Regards,H.


John Chiu   {K:6250} 8/10/2003
Cute and natural. No worse than looking at the camera. Nice.


Ashley Rae   {K:300} 8/10/2003
I love how you did the coloring. Beautiful children.


Karen Siebert   {K:12076} 8/10/2003

FANTASTICA IMAGEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!____________________________ .


Erol Avanoglu   {K:703} 8/10/2003
Louse, First very nice photo. Everything is perfectly worked on. Congratulations. Second, I am very happy to meet someone who use the same camera and lens which I use. This is really so far one of the best photo that is taken by Fuji S2 Pro and what's more with Tamron 24-135 lens.


Jorge Americo   {K:1075} 8/10/2003
Magnificentt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Jerker Johansson   {K:1203} 8/11/2003
I think it?s a good thing that you gave up the hope of getting the two childrens attention, the picture is much better this way, it would have been too flat if they were looking straight into the camera, the sepia toning really gives this portrait a great look. Keep up the good work and post more pictures like this one.

Best regards from sweden


Fredric Sommer   {K:85} 8/11/2003
Good color and sharpness. But what are they doing? :)


cinzia gregorutti   {K:4721} 8/11/2003

Karen Siebert   {K:12076} 8/11/2003
Congrats on Photo of the day. I reiterate all the comments from Chris - a wonderfully engaging image indeed. A well deserved tribute to you. This is a beautiful image.


Jim Fuglestad   {K:1564} 8/11/2003
Excellent Louise! Best success with children - let them do their own thing. But although that's a big part of this photo, is the hand-crafting on the other end that makes this a winner!

Very Nice!

Jim


Lissa Hatcher   {K:3006} 8/11/2003

Chris Lauritzen   {K:15387} 8/11/2003
Louise,

Can't add more then whats already been said. If they were looking at the camera this shot would not have been as good..

Well done!


Joksa Juoperi   {K:13473} 8/11/2003
Great and lovely capture with nice tone.
Regards, Joksa.

Maravillosa, full of feelings, a very tender picture! congrats!!


peta jones   {K:12615} 8/11/2003
I love the tinting, a very sweet capture, maybe even more so that they aren't looking at the camera. I wrote that before reading the comments, I see others agree. :) You can almost feel them think in this.
Congrats on picture of the day.


Igor L.   {K:7432} 8/11/2003

Thank you for your comment, this picture is one of my favorit in your portfolio.


Samuel Downs   {K:7290} 8/23/2003
Wow, This shot is precious. Children well shot are an interesting item all by itself. But, when you mix it in with a story in gestures of the moment - you have a real winner. Congrats! Sam


donato r.   {K:16361} 8/28/2003

Alan Andrews   {K:271} 11/12/2004
You've made all the right choices in creating a fantastic photo. I think it has a better feel with them not looking at the camera.


Vikas Dutt   {K:1255} 12/5/2004
Beautiful capture


Anne Knes   {K:60534} 1/24/2005

Linn Currie   {K:24426} 2/4/2005
Hi Louise
I am absolutely thrilled that you noticed one of my images and commented on it - thank you :-) and this was happening while I was drooling over the images in your portfolio. What coincidence!

It is perfectly clear that you have tremendous talent not only as a photographer, but also to bring out the best in your subjects.

I have no idea how you achieve the perfect skin in your studio portraits - all that I can do is give you a standing applause! It is obvious that you have some very satisfied customers! :-)

It was difficult to chose a single image to leave a comment on ... but this one kept on drawing me back.

Congratulations!

Linn


Guy Dube   {K:6932} 6/14/2005
Perfect all the way, beautiful composition Louise. I like it a lot.
Best regards
Guy

violetta  tarnowska   {K:24300} 10/22/2006
It is very beautiful....

Your works are delightful.... are full of the warmth and the elegance...
I am congratulating you cordially:)
Viola


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 12/5/2006
Beautifully done Louise . . . I can't believe this hasn't been granted an award . . . and 17 Favorites has to be a good - perhaps better - alternative anyway. Awesome! :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~
