Perfect. Love the natural capture and his expression seems to say it all. Very well done. Try more of these...you seem to have a talent for it.

Looks good Susan. I have heard one should capture the essence/personality of the person. I believe you did that. Good post.

Ohhh that is ever so sweet!! That is one precious little guy.
I love how the light is caught on the top of his little head.
It's tricky to get a personality in a photo, but you certainly did a great job. Nicely done. Verena

Yes, I can just echo Mr. Dmk :) . It is really good, a slice of rea life, a slice of emotions, a slice of thoughts and of course a very good portrait of a precious child. Many thanks for sharing and I would be so glad to see much more people shot from your beautiful South Africa. Have a fantastic weekend.

Marietha, capturing portraits isn't that easy and I know by own experience that it's not highly valuated by the voters at Caedes. Glad you've captured en posted this one though. To me it's a great portrait. Tells without words more than a book!
Very well done my friend!
Regards, Cornelius.

For being new to People photos you have a knack for finding the moment that catches a glimpse of personality and depth rather than just a snapshot. Sure I see 'shy' but there's also a glint of determination and mischief.
