Emile, carnival pictures are always fun to watch. This one is very good. You captured in good details the beauty of the two girls. Good colours and perspective with both looking at different ways. I can't wait to see the other pictures. Thanks Emile.

Ciao Emile!! Great double portrait!! The girl looking into your camera is a little blurred... and the other one is so concentrate!! She closes her lips in a very concentrate mood!!
I like the balls everyone wears in the hair.
Nice work! And cute subject!

hi emil,
lovely double portrait, good focus on the little girl in front and appropiate lack of focus on the girl in the background - well crafted!
nicely contrasting vivid color outfits ... the way the girl in the front moves her lips in concentration is a definite plus to the image!
well seen!
thank you,

Hi Emile, I think this is a superb portrait of the two little girls, both with lovely expressions on their faces, you have captured the girl furthest away from the camara looking intently & great eyes, there is that little bit of mistery with what is the other girl looking at, great colour & light, although I do like Partha's workshop, it takes alittle of the background distraction away, still a wonderful photo, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Emile,
good double portrait of these beautiful girls. I don't agree with your note on the expression. The girl on the left looks a bit shy but the one in the middle is determend to make a hell of a show of it. She looks well focussed rather than innocent.
Good picture.
Regards, Gerrit

Hola Emile,
bienvenido después de tus vacaciones. Vaya foto más atractiva nos presentas, has aprovechado el tiempo. Me gustan las miradas y los rostros de estas dos encantadoras niñas, en un plano corto con gran definición y muy bien iluminado.
También me gustan los colores, vivos y bien saturados, y las simpáticas bolitas de colores en sus peinados, que parece que podamos tocar porque se salen de la imagen.
Excelente trabajo, amigo mío.
Un fuerte abrazo,
Josep

Hi Emile,
Nice double portrait of the girls, looking like sisters, and I like the way, the one on the left is looking at you, while the other one is lost in her thoughts. Nice colors and framing.
Cheers

Hi Emile. That's interesting how you have the girl in focus that’s not looking at you and vice versa for the girl looking at you. I would think most of the time you would want the girl in the back in focus. But for whatever reason I can't explain I like the effect just the way you have it. tfs Emile.

Hi Emile,
Very effect portraiture work. The colours of the dress on the left nd baubles in the other girl's hair contrast nicely with the hue of the skin and the lighting is superb. I also like the two very different expressions of the girls, commented upon in your note. Your tight cropping delivers high impact. This is first rate, Emile. Congrats.

Hola Emile,
Carnival for Easter ? sounds a bit strange from an european perspective...
Very nice double portrait where both are differentiated by focus and expression, the foreground one seems to be meaning it very seriously, lovely girls btw, the various touches of green white and pink lighten the composition.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hola Emile, good result for this double portrait. You should try it more :)) I remember well your posts of this beautiful place. What I like more here is the interplay bettween the two, as if it was the same girl showing us the to diferent views of her face. The details on this one are excellent, with perfect focus. I wonder about an experience with the other focused instead of this one, since it's the other one that is looking at you. Well done.
Un saludo,
Ricardo

Hi Emile,

It's wonderful the two young girls with them hair in specially look, the way the girl in the front moves her lips in concentration is a definite plus to the image, maybe little bit nervous. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice day,

A beautiful double portarit of two beautiful girls. You have captured wonderful, almost nervous expressions on their faces. The crop suggested in the WS works well but I prefer the colours of your original

Hello Emile,
This is a great portrait, I won't say double since you obviously focused on the girl to the right!
Superb definition gives great details, and the colours are strong and natural...
Well composed presentation!

Magnifique portrait de ces deux charmantes petites filles. Très jolis les cheveux avec les petites boules de couleurs. La petite fille de face manque un peu de netteté mais ça reste une belle photo.

Hola amigo Emile

Vaya serie de foto ultima que has subido, son buenas pero como ya sabes que carezco de mucho tiempo por el momento que quedo con esta. El retrato de las niñas dominicanas es muy buena, con una luz genial y un pov excelente. Ademas las expresiones son muy cercanas.

Saludos y hasta pronto.

PS: Todo va bien??? Yo muy bien aunque muy ajetreado.

Un fuerte abrazo.

Hi Emile
Good to see your shots. Reminds me of Guyana. Well I'm in South Africa now and travelling the globe. Must take a bit of relaxation as I've just been gallavanting across Namibia and Botswana. Nice shot you've posted here and with excellent detail, quality and light. Keep posting. I'll be watching you.

Hola Emile!
Encontrè esta foto en tus fotos "al azar"! Me encantan estas chicas bonitas con perlas de colores vivos en sus peinados cuidadosos. Resaltan bien su la piel morena. Me gusta tambien l'expresiòn natural sulla cara de las niñas.
Captura exquisita!

Hola Emile,
This popped up in random aloowing me to see what I missed while I was traveling. As everyone says, it is wonderful work with the FG child in perfect focus and concentrating on something outside the frame. The slightly soft focus on the beautiful second child as shew watches with with mild suspicion also works well.

Hola Emile,
Un retrato doble encantador! Hay tanto para admirar en ello... Las expresiones de las niñas, los colores, la nitidez... Quizás algunos vean eso como un defecto, pero el echo de que la compo tenga no uno, pero dos motivos llamando la atención la hace muy especial. Las niñas son muy fotogénicas y es muy interesante que la que esta menos nítida sea la que nos mira con la sonrisa serena, mientras la otra parece absorta en sus pensamientos con la mirada distante.
Un abrazo, José.
