je dirais que dans cette image tout est dans le noir et blanc.
Le cadrage est parfait, et je ne suis pas certain du tout qu'une image comme celle ci pourrait être agréable en couleur?
Dans ce cas, c'est simplement beau...
la diagonale du "berceau" portable.. Belle photo.... encore.

hehehe good shot, specially what I like the most is the BIG boy in her arms...

nice subjects at first, the tight cropping works for me...I wonder if you changed the tones...at my monitor I see kind of sephia...

Graininess is also welcome.

Luko, you may agree or not, and although I also don’t like this kind of portraits, but here I see a strong spiritual expression. No, it is not from automatic holiness of motherhood. Instead of abstract characteristics I would try to list the attributes of the specifics of this one: strong man’s arm + rough but tender hands and face and nose (really inapproprietly shining, but also adding a ridiculous touch - a bit of spice) together with half-hidden, but obviously very kind, slightly timid glimpse of eyes and the same smile on the lips, humble and proud at the same time, then (closer to photo qualities) the kid’s face turned in an opposite angle to the mother’s, also with an "opposite" expression of militant anger and resolution, and all these (and some more) contrasting components in a perfect harmony with the technique chosen - B&W, rough (harsh) grain, which seems to be finer and softer on the kid’s head... It is a good picture not only from the technical side. The note is useful as a provocation.

hello Luko
tres belle photo
comme la dit Claude j'aime
bien cette diagonale du tissue
il y a surtout une chose qui me surprenante
dans cette photo, cette sa tenue,
son tee shirt genre "marcelle" je suis surpris
en principe les Palong que j'ai rencontrés
sont assé pudique, ou alor les seins nues lorsque
qu'elles nourricent leurs enfants, mais ce teeshirt
jamais vue

a link for Palong hilltribe

bravo c'est la patte Luko ;o)

I'm not sure what you're trying to convey here (from your note it's the technique and composition, which, both from observation and your explanations in your various examples of the technique-- I cannot really fault).

What I can perhaps suggest is maybe lith printing wasn't the most effective technique employed to suggest the obvious message of tenderness/bond since it's quite a harsh, uncompromising 'spotlight' kind of rendition (though the baby's own expression contradicts this notion anyway). Much of this also is probably due to the lighting-- seems to be a bright, daytime sunlight which the printing has exaggerated.

Therefore I don't know what to make of the picture as a whole-- both message and presentation. Itemised, I cannot criticise the technique nor composition.

I'm amazed with how you made this photo look very old, Luko! Great use of B&W, and great portrait of a mother and child. I think your grain style is just right for this pic! It's an excellent post! Good work!
