Mother's Love

Description

This is actually Aunt's love. We were doing Christmas photos and we were doing mother/daughter poses and Karina wanted to have her picture taken with Aunt Blanca. We did probably 3 or 4 photos and this one I actually glanced at the screen and said "Oh you blinked" and I did a couple more frames. Then when I seen this on the computer I thought it looked so touching, so I decided to desaturate it, I like the b&w tones better on this touching photo. f8.0 - 1/25

Yes! Beautiful, touching shot - captures the moment and the Aunt-Niece (mother-daughter) feel perfectly, on several levels. The fact that her eyes were closed adds the perfect touch and you're right, I think - b&w was the way to go. Fantastic photo! Very rich in feeling. #957337
