Wonderful capture Michel, I love her expression and the eye contact you made with her, very sweet! l.f. :)
Maggie Terlecki
Such a beautiful child and you caught her and she looks surprised but fine otherwise. What I find truly interesting is how she is holding her dad's (I imagine) fingers and he is not holding her... it's a sense of trust by the adult that he's there to protect her but not hold her as if afraid something could happen to her and I think that will allow her to grow up with a sense of security and that when she is ready, she'll let go instead of oh.. no.. dad is not holding on... what will I do? Does that make sense?
Michel Verhoef replied:
Yes, it makes sense and your brain works perfectly...lol...it was during a wedding of the ex wife of my brother and she is the daughter of her brother, who is the father.....haha....that defenitely is a brain teaser !!

This is such a beautiful capture, Michel.... Her eyes tell everything about innocence, trust, illusion, tenderness....and her gesture and her holding hand enhance all these emotions. Another captivating masterpiece!
Michel Verhoef
Great way to see your interpretation here...hadn't heard this one yet :)) thanks for it !
Catherine Sobredo
Great image reminding us that the color of our skin is not an issue for children manifested in the beautiful holding of hands!
Arin Brock
This is just a great piece. I really like how you captured this moment. She knows she's being photographed too. Adorable!
Michel Verhoef replied:
Yeah...she was in that shy period that kids have...I guess :) thanks for you words Arin :)
Lilliana Mendez
Wonderful Candid Portrait of this little girl. I truly believe that the best captures are when the subject is unaware of being photographed and doesn't morph into what they would like you to see, but as they are.
Michel Verhoef replied:
Thanks Lilliana ! She was very aware of being photographed (normally they don't) so...I still I hope you like it :)
Claire Bull
Oh I love her, I love the expression and the way she is holding onto two fingers... and the face - she is FULL of personality isn't she? What a perfect photograph Michel - excellent ;) Instant F/V
Michel Verhoef replied:
Thanks Claire for your nice words :) I think she is quite a character indeed. Hardly see her....thanks again for your visit !
Nicole Frischlich
Whenever you might cast a doubt about eyes couldnīt talk...you should see this face! There is a "heavy book" in this facial expression! Very charming and great expressional portrait work.
Michel Verhoef replied:
Thanks she was probably intimidated by the guy with his camera, and luckily she could cling onto her father that did marry again that day....lol
Bob Orsillo
Perfection my friend! Everything about this photograph is as it should be. Her eyes are amazing! VF
Barbara Milton
What an adorable expression on her face and superb coupling of her young hand with an older hand. FV
