Love that duet (girls AND umbrellas), you could even come (or frame it) closer, the colors are so cool and their shelter so sweet, bravo !

@k@: Thanks K. I came closer to them and talked to lady. They look so different in this park than any other people . It was multicultural festival with Romanian folk on a stage at that moment , so you can imagine how my girls looked among Romanian, Polish, Yugoslavian, Greek .... I got a tight composition too; maybe some other time I post it :))
Standley from Carquefou, France

Good capture. good framing. The expressions are extraordinary, but what I most like is the red light from the umbrella on the girls head and face.

This is a wonderful shot Mariana! I love the look of resignation on the young girl's face. Great colours and crispness. Well done! ;-)

A fine shot of the two resting under umbrella's shade. Interesting setting with the title of the shot. We give up a lot to provide good experiences for our kids and their kids! :-)

@don: Yes, that was a point of this shot . Grandmas would do everything for their grandkids, much more than kids' parents :)) Thanks Don .
Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
This is beautiful portraiture. You captured those expressions so perfectly, almost like you are a mind reader. Bravo!

Mariana! Love this one! and even works in B&W if you convert and punch up the contrast... the dress and purse and their dark beautiful skin will really take center stage! Congrats!

Why so many people there gathered together on that Sunday? Haa, all of them had the same idea as the girl did!
Once I wanted you to resize the photo by cutting the right and left but finally I changed the idea when I gave you the above comment! Because those people could tell us more of the story!

@flyingwind风飞扬: I put under TAG a couple words , and mentioned - it was a multicultural festival in a park , and girl wanted to see it , but not to go to church with grandma :)) Thanks !
Steven from Chicagoland, United States
Grandma knew who she wanted to stand out between them as can be seen in the vibrant colors captured in the outfit and umbrella the granddaughter had. Great shot.

Bill Laing from Corvallis, OR, United States
Wow--I like this approach, too. If I had to choose, I prefer the B&W because of the perspective. Robert Capa once said "If you don't like your photographs, get closer."--or words to that effect. You did that in the B&W shot. Which do you prefer?
1 Oct 2009 5:58pm
@Bill Laing: I prefer BW , since I really like BW portraits, not color ! For this one - one can feel their presence in all these colors , especially umbrellas , among other , very ordinary people . They looked so special to me :)) So, I like this one too, maybe not as much I like the picture, but I LOVE these two girls :))
