    Re: Pure morning

    I like the use of selective focus and softening effect. A very ethereal kind of portrait. I guess this is what you meant by Pure morning. Good work!

    Re: Pure morning

    I like the framing of this shot a lot and I like the use of diffusion here. The colors (blues and oranges and yellows) are very soothing. thumbs up well done...great feeling almost like an old photo.

    I was just myself. I didn't know any other way to be, or any other way to live."

    well done, nice comp.
    Only criticism is that it looks as if the eyes are completely closed. A better feel if you could see some eye IMHO.

    Re: Pure morning

    Are the black "film edges" something that you added?

    Dzerzhinski46: Thanks! "Etherial" is a word that I couldn't find!
    natatbeach: Old photos look much tender than modern ones Thank You!
    CarbonTerry: Eyes realy were closed. It was one of the last shots of this session, so Nikita (boy on this photo) didn't try to pose. I added "medium format" film edges to this 35mm frame (don't tell anybody ;) )
