my boy

[edbayani11]

this is a very good photograph of your son. it may be a little dark but it sets the mood. by observing his attire, jacket and cap you know it is cold. you can see in his eyes the confidence of a young boy. there is minimal color and adds to the cold mood. i like the highlight on the right side. it shows the texture of his cap and jacket.
i like this photograph because you can see the rapport between the photographer and the boy.

I like this photograph but I have to agree that the face is a little dark. I think when someone refers to the 'dark' lighting used by the Rennaisance Masters they are most often refering to Rembrandt lighting. To me that is not a type of ligting commonly used with children except for situations where the photographer wants to portray real drama or hardship perhaps as in a photojournalist who goes to a poor country and photographs poverty or illness or perhaps the ravages of war as they affect the children. Anyway, that is my take on it.
