  • The I-Shot-It team loves this photograph! Perfect timing of the flying acorn and the open hands .. and that gentle smile of the young person. A truly priceless image with so much positive feel in it. Seeing the leaves of the acorn tree above the head frames this situation perfectly. An absolute stunner of photo this is!

  • A combination of light, colour and shadow come together beautifully. The texture of the gate in the background gives this image some good texture and definition.

  • This is a great angle, how the observer is being introduced to the young person with the caregiver. All these framed images on the outside wall, and a ‘Love You’ picture above the toddler. Very well seen and captured!

  • A truly beautiful capture this is, with showing love and soul. Having one eye covered, this young person shows a little shyness, possibly. The candle light lends a warm feeling to this peacefully situation pictured.

  • The combination of blue and yellow works really well in this photo. Seems that the focal point is on the water drops, which is superb! What gorgeous beach this is, so much freedom all around! We also like that the photographer went down to the eye level of this child. A stunning photograph this is!

  • This black and white photo is exceptionally framed and executed. The emotions of how the motherly hands are touching the child's little foot gently, is shown in a magical way. All the different angles in this image show great dynamic.

  • Without seeing the tree, the roots give away that it has to be majestic. Having this young boy sitting on those roots underlines the scale of this tree even further. The warm colours of brown and red tones work very well. Having this boy captured from above is a great way of presenting this situation.

  • Seeing a sleeping baby communicates so much peace all around. The feel of the adult hands, cradling the baby’s head gently, and touching the hand of the little one, make our heart feel warm and comfortable. All the different patterns in fabrics keep our mind curious and engaged.

  • Following a track, running up the hill with a tire in his hand. This boy is on a mission and seems to be devoted getting there. This is a lovely frame of a fine young man, beautifully executed in black and white. Having a lot of space around this person makes the mind wonder far.

  • Lovely post production in this photo. The high contrast with vivid colours gives the observer an impression of a hot summer day. The feeling of motion underlines the subject of this turning carrousel.

  • Thank you very much! There was not so much Lightroom work cause the Leica M10p and the Noctilux 1.0/50 at 1.0 are doing this special look on their own ;-) If you like what you see: feel free to follow my Instagram @herrsenn
