what is that MUMMY????, a photo from Aichi, Chubu

Photographer's Note

I took this pic, because these two were staring at the dolphins for a considerably long time, it was fun to see their expressions, really curious as kids are, so I thought why not give it a shot.

The blue actually illuninated the whole of the spectators area and it was such an atmosphere too

I hope you like it

Great capture of the child's expression here.
The blue color is also very nice.
Thanks for sharing!

I know very well those expressions having three little sons. Every day they discover something new and I enjoy to see their happyness. This world for children is still enchanted. Thank's for sharing, Daniel

I think the expression in the boys face makes this the best of the series. A bit soft, but well managed in the conditions.

Hi Daniel, great capture of the child's expression here.
The blue colour is also very nice. Good job!

Very surreal, no real-world elements to latch on to. That pushes our attention right onto the kids. Great moment you've grabbed here.

Jeppe (18654) 2004-06-07 7:08

Yes - that blue actually fine to give the atmosphere and the look in the face of that boy tells us the rest - very fine capture Dan - thanks for sharing one more from your nice series.

The big blue, a world of dream in the eyes of the children. A real dreamy photograph. I like it.

cmartos (242) 2004-06-07 7:28

I fully agree with Risto. Children eyes make everything beautiful. very nice catch here, the expression is candid and simply marvelous. What a world to discover! Nice blue cast, the colour of sea, illumibating these youg spectators too. Very nice catch Daniel!

Very sweet shot, i like it. The color is unique and wonderful

taivo (1843) 2004-06-07 8:52

Kids are always a welcoming subject in shots. These kids do look sweet. It's a pity we cannot see the full face of the girl.

Burnham (2428) 2004-06-07 8:58

back at the aquarium, and another great shot, too bad you didn't get in the tank and took a shot of those two from the inside :o) the shades of blue makes this very mysterious and pretty. Well done.

elihesamian (26149) 2004-06-07 9:30

I like it,Daniel!
Very nice capturing,Well done!

strangiato (10) 2004-06-07 10:06

Nice capture Daniel. I like their expressions and the light and the image is very well cropped.

hojper (2832) 2004-06-07 12:03

Oh yes, there is nothing like seeing things through kids' eyes. And mind you, if you hadn't explained what it is, we would have looked the same. You could almost have posted this as a quiz: What is he touching? I wouldn't have had a clue.

Rinie_Hoff (9340) 2004-06-07 12:19

Hi Daniel, very good title for this wonderful picture. The way that they look up, and have their tiny hands on the glass, in order not to loose balance, is reaally great, the differences in the blue colour, make it an excellent shot!

nwoehnl (122) 2004-06-07 13:18

A lovely capture Dan of the amazement of these two children. The boy's open-mouthed gaze is very well captured, and the way in which the aquarium tank works pretty much as a blue lamp in your shot is really cool. Wonderful shot.

avigur_11 (22553) 2004-06-07 13:22

Beautiful, Daniel. I like that mazing blue, and the boy's expression. Angle is excellent and the dim light adds a mysterious mood. Good shot.

sunny (3069) 2004-06-07 15:53

Fantastic capture, Daniel! :-) I love their face expressions and the way they look so absorbed in the sight. The blue colour is just stunning! Excellent job!

waskahegan (0) 2004-06-07 19:53

The expression is great, the colors, as reflected on the face very well seen.

pamastro (7296) 2004-06-07 22:03

Great atmosphere with this blue coming through. The kids are really nicely captured here. They have a look of curiosity and amazement. And maybe they are even wanting to get into the tank from the looks of it. The blue and darkness add to that look of curiosity. Very nicely done.

summer89 (5422) 2004-06-08 10:49

Wonderfull Daniel.

The blue colors tones are great.

Well done

eleparc (24063) 2004-06-08 14:37

wow this is superb dani;-) i like this blue zone and the kids looking at it... i love it.. somehow i wonder how it would turn out if you cropped the feet to give it more impact? your opinion?

Excelent crop, deep blue colors and a great capture of their expressions.
