* 3 years on TE *, a photo from Jammu and Kashmir, North

Photographer's Note

Difficile de choisir une image pour marquer 3 ans de TE !
Je suis d'humeur pour un peu d'innocence et de tendresse
Alors voil� un simple instant de complicit� fugace qui me va bien pour cette occasion
Moi sur le trottoir et lui dans le bus sur le point de partir de Leh vers Thikse

A tricky job to select an image as a milestone of my 3 years on TE
I'm in the mood for some innocence and tenderness
So there we are for a fugitive instant of complicity that goes well for the occasion
Me on the sidewalk, him on the bus on the point to leave from Leh to Thikse

Bonjour Patrick,

The word that comes to mind here is 'fragile', this is even enhanced by your dof, focussing on the face with much of the rest out of focus.

Mes f閘ications pour l'anniversaire et merci pour partager vos images ici. Ils sont un plaisir � regarder!

bonsoir Patrick
la photo aurait pu 阾re prise chez nous,c'est ce que j'ai cru en la voyant,car rien ne laisse supposer que ce soit un enfant Ladakhi.A moins que ce ne soit un petit touriste.En tout cas,petite bouille adorable avec son bonnet et son expression intimid閑,et la fa鏾n qu'il a de passer sa t阾e � travers la vitre en la tenant avec ses 2 mains.Une photo attendrissante pour un joyeux anniversaire sur trekearth.

formidable portrait plein d'innocence pour f阾er tes 1095 jours de pr閟ence active sur ce site.

"TE est pour moi un tr鑣 beau livre d'images, auquel on peut m阭e parler et qui souvent vous r閜ond !
Ou c'est comme si, aux quatre coins du monde, on entrait chez des amis et qu'ils sortaient pour vous le bon vieux projecteur de diapos. Elles ne sont m阭e pas � l'envers et le panier ne tombe pas par terre...
Qui a dit que le num閞ique n'閠ait pas convivial !?"
Tu as bien r閟um� la situation, n'est ce pas!

Congratulations

Dear Patrick!
You are so right .Your passion is India,mine is Myanmar.In about 9 weeks I`ll start my 4th travel to this beautiful country,with fantastic burmese people,no exception.
Maybe I have the chance to meet Malgo "Emka" there.
Why I go there again.It`s changing ........the influence of western style and products goes quick and I want to see again wonderful places where life goes on like in the middle age.

About your shot.....
This could be New York, London or Tokio too.Not a typical Photo from India,your beloved (sub)continent,but it`s a great one,her big eyes ,her fragile hands.Children are our future,all the best for him

Congrats for for three years here and the great photo stuff you uploaded.
It`s allways a pleasure to view.
All the best ,Leo

Hi Patrick
Congrats on your 3rd yr on TE.
An atrractive portrait of an innocent, a charming natural moment captured with excellent eye contact as he appears intense with a mix of curiousity. Lovely , to me his eyes are the most attractive part and the central focus. Good the tones and natural skin color and excellent clarity. Superb sharpness and good contrast. This is a delightful portrait, a lovely happy shot.
Best regards

A plus.

olive224 (2719) 2011-10-03 6:47

Ok ok c'est pas juste de nous prendre par les sentiments comme 鏰 Patrick ;) Je plaisante !!

Elle n'est pas aussi techniquement parfaite que "Jammu and Kashmir" (qui 閠ait une merveille selon moi) mais on oublie la technique devant un tel sujet ! Tu as captur� l'閙otion et la seule chose qui compte c'est qu'on la ressent nous aussi en regardant l'image

Bravo donc, et continue � nous faire r陃er
Cordialement,
Olivier

Any photo you choose would have been just fine to celebrate you anniversary. Do you have bad photos? I don't think so. So far I have seen one I didn't like.

Another excellent shot, so cute this face and that look, I just want to pick him up.

Robert1969 (7160) 2012-03-23 15:59

Hello Patrick,

This is great photo work (it goes to my
favorites).

The picture is so to see made into a busy
street, but is itself very nice calmness.

It has a wonderfull composition, light
management, DOF, but also wonderful is
the timing and the moment.
The gaze of the child is of course a nice
extra...My compliments.

Friendly regards,
Robert
