I can only echo the comments already made...Quite a wonderful image. The soft focus does indeed lend a very appealing dreamy quality....Congratulations on a most memorable photograph....

Hi Shirley,
Thanks for all your kind comments on my photos. I'm glad you have added me as a friend. What part of the US are you from - I'm going there in a few weeks, but could be millions of miles away!
Cheers,
Suzanne

hey, found the photo taken from me, and put it on my portfolio... there is a bit of resemblance, for example how the light drops in... see for yourself:

nice image.. a bit soft on the focus but it helps add some mood to the composition. The window is a bit washed out but it does not seem to impact the photo a lot. Congrats on the POD

Hi, again, Phillip.
You were right about Suzanne! The first two uploads have been given awards! Have a look here: http://www.usefilm.com/photographer/109591.html
I have seen her work on an Australian photography site that we both belong to! Believe you me, she has got some more great shots to come!
Cheers

Thanks for your comments on all my photos Cathy. I'm a ballet teacher so know when to take action photos. This was taken at a course run by the Aus. Ballet School, mainly for teachers. The lad was getting pretty bored waiting for his turn to dance, so I was able to sneak up on him & snap. Fortunately, his mother is a teacher too, so I was able to get permission from both of them to use it, right there on the spot.
(I sent his Mum a copy, & she's framed it & has it on display)
Cheers,
Suzanne

I just checked out your other images and read Phil M comments, so you do take the odd photo now and then! This one is superb. Window light is my absolute favourite. What I love about this image is how sensitively you have captured the subject matter. I don't imagine boys are abundant in this field and you have found a patient one! I wonder where his mind had wandered to. Cathy

Oh, Phillip, Suzanne is a wonderful photographer, and an extremely talented person!!!
Suzanne and I have belonged to an all Australian photography web-site for some time, now. In that time, I have marvelled at her beautiful work, which has won her many awards and prizes. We have been chatting via e-mail for a month or two and, today, I encouraged her to join this great site!
I was blown away when, within minutes of her uploading this image, she was awarded a POD. I e-mailed her to tell her what an honour that award is. Since then, we have spoken by phone for over an hour and I have explained to her all about this site and how it works. Suzanne is looking forward to posting her work on this site and, I can assure you, she has many wonderful images, yet to come!!!
I feel very certain this award will be one of many!
Cheers
Phil

Thanks for your comments Phillip. This was just one of those lucky shots. I asked his Mum (& him)if I could use it & certainly sent them a copy which she has framed & displayed proudly.

Phillip, thanks for inviting Suzanne to Usefilm. I can see she is off to a great start and if this keeps up we are going to really have to work hard to keep up with her.
This picture struck a chord in me. It is just so perfect. I am now going to build a window set prop just like this for my studio, it is just so perfect to capture the innocence of youth. Not to mention there is a dance studio not to far from here that would probably flip over photos like this.

Suzanne, a beautiful image. I love the soft focus and effect of the soft lighting and tonality. It is a beautiful image that I am sure his parents would cherrish forever, I hope you gave them a copy. Congrats on the award, well deserved.
