About In your face I sometimes see
Shadowings of the man to be,
And eager, dream of what my son
Will be in twenty years and one.

But when you are to manhood grown,
And all your manhood ways are known,
Then shall I, wistful, try to trace
The child you once were in your face?

(Julia Johnson Davis)

All previous entries to My Best Photo of 2004 have been removed and superceded by this one. I have been waiting a long time to get one like this, and today I applied much of what I learned here from my friends to accomplish this. The father, David is a sensitive and artistic man, and when I saw him hold his son this way, it pulled on my heartstrings. There was virtually no adjustment to this image, save for darkening a small selected area where something white peered through on the left edge near his elbow and correcting missing digital pixels. This is the image as it came from the camera. I love it because of the father's expression of love, the expression of their bodies and the way the lines flow in the composition. Also, the quality of the skin tones. I hope you like it. ISO 1000 f/3.5 1/60th - natural window light

difficile scrivere dell'amore di un padre
per un figlio,
ci vorrebbe un libro...

tu con la tua fotografia
ci sei riuscita in pieno
e il libro,
le parole non servono piů
basta guardare... la tua fotografia
complimenti
la metto tra le mie preferite

My second favorite the contrast of the skin is wonderful it to me is what makes this shot special. It also has nice light and lots of feeling.

Hi Toni,

I see what you mean with this one.
This image has so much impact, it exudes love.
I have ALWAYS loved this type of portrait.

I like everything about this, the closed eyes especially. Soft lighting. And the difference in skins is AWESOME!!!

You have captured this beautifully!
VERY good job,
Lori :)

Hey Karen! I haven't seen you for awhile. It's hard to catch up. I think many have had difficulties keeping up over the holidays, including me. Thanks for your kind remarks on this one -- it's one of my personal favorites, and a gift for the proud parents on the birth of their baby. T.

Karen Ferranti   {K:2959} 1/4/2005
This is stunning. The tones are just perfect. I love the contrast of the skin tones. Perfect milky skin of the baby and nice tanned skin of the father. You caught this moment perfectly. Great Job!!

this is truly a great photo and it shows so much of how it feels when you become a father. Nice work. The man will love you for that photo.

What I really like is the little background info you add to each photo. That add so much more to a photo. It becomes an entire story not just a snapshot. I will try to add that to my photos, too.

Lovely light. I think that the really remarkable power of this photo lies in the pose. The baby's posture is essentially the same of his father. Tender and beautiful, I can see why this supercedes any other candidates for this year's best shot!
