I like this picture. I like the way the lens comes really really close to you, and the the camera is kinda far away. The black and white really brings out the camera, and the curtain behind it is very pretty. I dont understand how it is the 70s though.

Good old Zenit - I had one of those (or should I say my dad had one)... Good choice of b/w here.

Comment by sjoseph1:
This is a nice picture, however the child does not look at all sad, so the tear looks like it was intentionally placed. Which I am sure it was, however if the child looked sadder and perhaps had watery eyes I would have given this a higher score. Take the tear away and it's a great potrait of the child. points taken off for reasons stated above I gave you a 6.

Very nice. I have a feeling the blur was intentional, but it just sort of takes something away from the shot.

That tear looks awfully out of place. The child looks intense, interested, not sad.

Love the shot. I actually am one of the few people who appreciates soft focus sometimes. In my opinion things don't always have to be in crystal clear focus to achieve the artistic style that you were going for.

My biggest problem is that the tear is the only thing representing pain in the babies face. The facial expression is very content and pleasant looking. If he looked more sad, hurt, or emotional in anyway it would be a bit more powerful. Love the fingers on the face though. Very nice image. Keep up the great work! :))
