Glimpses

I know he is just 8 years old, but sometimes you catch him at the moment that really seems to give you a glimpse of the grown-up he will one day become.
Unfortunately, the upload turns out much blurrier than the original, oh well.
Thank you for visiting!

Great portrait! Very nice lighting and bokeh. I especially like the light on his hair and eyelashes.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Beautiful portrait with the blue and greens. Love his serious gaze, almost like he's reflecting on something.

[Newbank Lass]

A gorgeous portrait. Frustraing that images aren't as great on here. I have the same issue...

[Jocasta]

Gorgeous portrait - so unaware that he's being photographed. Great light on his hair.

[Shari]

Lovely portrait.

[Karen Mitchell]

Super light and bokeh for this portrait, he does look to be thinking about something more grown up than his years.

[Maggiemae]

I can see what you mean - there is thought in that expression!

[Izzy Romilly]

It is very nice on black Vera (maybe it is less affected by the website compression)- you have captured a very expressive moment & perfect composition.

Great expression and composition. Love the light behind his head and the bokeh. Fav!

[Barb]

Lovely portrait - love the light and bokeh

[HelenM]

This reminds me of a quote I heard recently (can't remember who said it) that children are people who haven't lived very long yet. This is a beautiful portrait

Thank you so much for your comments - so nice to read them and know that you thought of it as a nice portrait. I am figuring I am very partial to my own kids' portraits, so at times, I don't have good judgement :) Thanks!

@vera365 ...spoken like a true mum!... just keep on taking their photos... :o)

[Lesley Chisholm]

Lovely portrait of your son. I like the colours and dof. I thought a similar thing on a portrait of my daughter (who has just turned 8) that I posted last week. I took several shots but the one I posted looked different from the others and she looked older in it.
