Deep are the thoughts of a child
Posted by Ina (Krugersdorp, South Africa) on 6 January 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Bitter are the tears of a child:
Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child:
Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child:
Take it from him (her).
Soft is the heart of a child:
Do nothing to harden it.

Ina, I like the idea here by reducing the contrast to create, simulate 'thoughts'. Apart from this, even the look on the child's face enhances this.

lovely high key portrait. Treatment is perfect as well as original picture with a so nice expression on his face.
The transparency of this portrait fit so well with his expression.
BRAVO

Barbara from Florida, United States
Ina, you captured the emotion, thought of the child. It is an excellent image. I like the faded soft effect. Wonderful model too.
The poem reaches deep emotional places. So true but beautiful.

@Barbara: Thanks you Barbara! Something else that could be said to adults.... "It is not what you say... but he way you say it!" Watch your tone of voice, it hurts sometimes more than what you've actually said!
