Dawid. Middle son and It's a mission to get him to pose for me but it was worth it. He has no hang ups in the sense of trying to look different and being funny or special. He is just Dawid.

Music a huge part of his life and talented Violin player. Saying anything more i fear to brag

Thanks for comments and voting.

Baie interresant. Jy het die opstelling so goed gedoen, mens sien 'n duielike verhouding tussen die viool en jou seun. Werklik uitstekend.

This is very evocative, truly outstanding, in many ways.

Brilliant catch lights, in his eyes, lovely intense look, just so natural, I wish I took something like this. I'm going to have to give you one of these verineats

I really like the quality of this image and post processing. I also really like the title. It's a great title, but I can't say I care much for the composition. Just seems awkward. Would have preferred a more natural position and orientation of the instrument with the same overall lighting and post processing. I still scored it high because its a nice image regardless.

Lighting is soooo nice. (I have so much to learn!) This is a really creative portrait that causes you to pause. Nicely done.

Why is he holding it upside down?
 03/13/2013 11:09:03 PM
This is a thoughtful portrait! Your light is beautiful, and he has a gorgeous brown eye.

Love the mood, the lighting and the feeling behind this portrait. Even though only half the face is visible it speaks to me that music it a vital part of this person's life. Well done.

it occurred to me that these are note sheets reflecting in his eye (I know this is unlikely, but you said I should see with my ears).
