...Grandfather and Grandson...

It's been a while since I've entered anything like this...I almost don't want to because I love this intimate moment of pure tenderness, but I feel the need to share with the few who will appreciate it.

...4.7 here I come.

Sickeningly under-rated. This is amazing. Your use of lighting here is so intriguing. The way you let the face slide into shadow is unique and adds such intensity to the image. I would have instinctively tried to lighten the face and darken everything else. Brilliant work.

Well? What the hell were you thinking getting all emotive and tugging at our heart strings? Don't you know portraits are suppose to be all cold and sterile. Also, where are the over-saturated, over-sharpened jewel like eyes? I can clearly see that I'm going to have to spend more time with you, teaching you how to be much more cliche. Seriously though, I wonder how this would fare in the faceless emotions challenge.

A great photo regardless of the vote. The neph is really growing isn't he!?!

very interesting choise to light the hand instead of the babies face, i really like it because my eyes want to see the face but are pulled to the soft connection between the two, awesome

too dark - can't see the face or expression. An emotive picture could lose the face entirely, but this is portrait...

The title and lighting of this photo make it seem more about the hand than the boy.

Lovely image, conveys emotion nicely. Though I wish it was a little brighter on the face. Not sure if this was a shoot or a candid, but if I had my way I think I'd have his face in the light where the hand is and have his back and the and in the shadows so as to make the hand secondary to the child. As it is now the hand is very overpowering in the image.
