Great light, great smile…doesn’t get much better than this.

Thanks Mark!
Peter, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful..how you seperate the subject from the background..totally natural. The “humus” takes effect 😉 Congrats to the” breakout”! …..by the way, the rings are great.
after seeing this photo, this summarit will be my next objectiv! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Ah, Andreas the 75mm Summarit is a wonderful lens.
In the faintness of shadows, in the perfection of the crystalline forms of water, in the slowing of winter, and the quickening of its days, there are also beauties, like diamonds, all the dearer for their rarity and challenge of retrieval. This is lovely, and not without precedent; I seem to recall quite a number of delightful portraits you’ve taken in the winter months.
Maybe its just my aging, but I’ve actually developed a fondness for winter light… if not exactly for the frigid temps 😉
I’ll tell you, Greg, my main issue with winter: Raynaud’s. It inhibits me from photographing.
Lord of the Ring? 🙂 Beautiful capture indeed, congratulations!
Thank you Pedro. That ring was put to good use in the game the children were playing (they were acting out a play, and the ring was part of the “wardrobe”).
Wonderful. Nice everything – composition, exposure, and the attention to background detail. Even the light is nice, considering. (I didn’t know that the Internet reinstated permission to shoot within the 200 yard radius from your home?)
I still don’t think that the 3:2 aspect is suitable for vertical compositions, but you made all of it work here.
Yes, it works here because of the upper “layer”. In fact, a few rules were broken, but harmony was achieved. I love it when seemingly simple images have “more than meets the eye”. In truth, I would have kept this image even if it hadn’t worked technically, solely for the emotional appeal (to me).
By the way, I actually didn’t break the Internet rule 😉
yes very nice Peter….bay window, with door and roof triangle working very nicely here. Your son’s hair, smile and the jacket he is wearing in the snow scene all come together!
Prosophos 
Nice one!
