Timeless smile

What an innocent and ever lasting smile! Why don't we find that on adult faces anymore....?

Now posting on Monday and Thursday

Yes, ever lasting... and the background, soft toned, makes it even more peaceful...

@k@: Merci bien! :-) This is actually my first photo that I've tried to manipulate the color scheme (in this case B&W tone), glad you like it!

ha. this is very un-you, Ti.
The overblown forehead sets it a bit back, but I'm glad you are not afraid of trying new things. :-)

@vz-nostalgia: Yeh, I struggled to avoid making the background too dark and that's what happens. Guess I move back to birds and do it right? :-)

I recognize that one from the Atlanta Botanical garden - a joyous statue! I may have a few images of him in my archives going way back.

perhaps (adding on to nostalgia's observation), you could have shot it from a slightly different angle to get a different background?

@Jason Kravitz: Good memory! I bet it must had been a good one? Maybe you should dig them up and post one taken from a different angle?
