Maria from California, United States

you forgot to provide the link to the "small" size! :)
That's a really nice (double) portrait, Franz...
I have to say, that she looks somehow, like you...at least in this posture...

28 Oct 2011 6:20am

@Maria: i hope what you say about the likeness is not true ... otherwise, what a poor girl she would be ... ;-))) (there's no link for viewing an image "small"; you find it at the bottom of THIS page, in the right hand corner!!)

@Sarito: indeed! thanks for looking ... ;-))

Doug Hickok from Charleston, South Carolina, United States

Congratulations to you both! The marvel of life will be to watch her grow and develop into the wonderful granddaughter I'm sure she will be (one of my predictions for the day). By the way, wonderful image with strong composition of lines, shapes, textures and colors. Terrific foreground detail leading the eye deep into the image. Fantastic lighting, processing, and framing. This one is a keeper :^)

What a cute double portrait shot Franz! Emilia is growing up fast and grandfather is looking younger each time we see him! Being a grandfather obviously agrees with you Franz! ;-))

Franz . realmente emociona mucho verlos justos , Emilia ha crecido un montón en este mes . y parece gustarle los brazos de su abuelo Franz . a ella se la ve muy cómoda , sabiendo que allí esta muy protegida , a ti se te ve un poco temeroso …. No esa no es la palabra .. ¡!! No se pendiente de sus movimientos y tranquilidad . pero es hermosa fotografía . mi amigo Franz y Emilia que mas puedo pedir ¡!!!!!!
Viste como se siente los latidos del pequeño corazón en tu alma . no es fantástico ¡!!!!! Un hermoso beso y abraso a los dos ya que a pesar de estar en otro continente los quiero mucho . Alejandra

Denny Jump Photo from Easton, PA, United States

You don't look blue to me - you look like a grandfather looks when holding the blessed treasure in his arms and dreaming of the future, not for yourself, but for this little one - and hoping that her life will be a treasured and blessed one as certainly she has made yours....Beautiful image and emotion Franz!

28 Oct 2011 3:28pm

@Denny Jump Photo: such lovely and touching words, denny - thank you so much for expressing them here! and you know, they're true! i DO think she is a treasure ...
