June 16: A smile

The next forthnight theme is "humanity". When I thought about this theme, I thought about what various parts of a person tell about that person. My son will soon be leaving for a several week long trip, so he will be my "guinea pig" for the next few days. I hurriedly took this shot of his smile before he took off on a day trip. The light was really poor, but I hope you can see his sweet smile. As his mother, I always think my son's smile is sweet. At least, he was sweet to hold still long enough for me to get a quick shot of him. The portrait genre is not my best photo genre, so please bear with me as I struggle through two weeks of BW photos of people. Hopefully, I will learn from this experience.
You are right about the smile and I also think that the eyes go with the smile for a sign of sincerity!

Priceless. It will be fun to see what you come up with.

I'm sure you will learn a lot from two weeks of b&w portraits and this is a great start Daisy. Lovely happy smile.

He does have a nice smile- and as his mom, you are allowed to always think the best of him! Good shot. I think you are going to do just fine with this theme.

Love the focus on the smile - nice way to crop it.

Yes, a sweet smile. I am learning from my 50days of 50mm as I am sure you will from two weeks of portraits.

@deu49097 Thanks. This will be quite a challenge for me. I have ideas of what I want to photograph. We well see how this theme turns out for me.

@paulaw Thanks! I am certain I will learn lots from this BW humanity theme. I normally do not photograph people.

@milaniet Thanks. Cropping will be part of what I plan to do for this theme. This will give me needed practice in cropping.
