Some really nice shots! I must admit I like #4 the best, it just made me smile! DancingDolphin · 2008-06-09: 21:41

Wonderful! I like #4 the best as well - she's really concentrating on getting it going! ncshutterbug · 2008-06-09: 21:44

These are all beautiful portraits. I love Thomas's pic in the pool. Your children are so lucky to have you recording moments in their lives. TheCrazyCroat · 2008-06-09: 22:30

Lovely photos, great b&w's! Looks like you found a good way to cool off in this crazy heat. Great post! ScubaLiz · 2008-06-09: 22:45

Madoc, these are amazing photos! I am in love with the tones and shadows and the second one especially. Fabulous work. :) mariaps · 2008-06-09: 22:55

summer fun...each photo screams joy and love.........I like the range of grainy tight portraits to the sharp and crisp shots of the kids at play. focussed · 2008-06-09: 23:23

Il a été très chaud ici dans au Royaume-Uni! Grande portaits et le noir et blanc fonctionnent très bien :)) Emma · 2008-06-09: 23:28

Very, very cute shots. Especially love the smile in #3 and the perspective of #4. Great smile in #6 too. All around very nice! etodd80 · 2008-06-09: 23:30

Vraiment beau les portraits, j'aime beaucoup la deuxième avec ce grain et la septième pour le regard au photographe. ????? · 2008-06-10: 03:22

cool set! especially love #2 - so dreamy..., #5 - so much concentracion to play with sand... and #7 - her expression and composition. Pikapol · 2008-06-10: 03:37

Très beaux portraits ! ces enfants sont superbes ! maudlaurens · 2008-06-10: 03:46

beautiful portraits.. amaranta · 2008-06-10: 04:53

Wonderful portraits. # 2 and 3 are great. castaway · 2008-06-10: 05:22

I love these portraits in black & white! Great choise and beautifuly caught! Kanya · 2008-06-10: 05:23

It is wet and cold here — great to see these summertime shots. Are these children or cherubs? angels or just beautiful scamps? (probably both!) Another beautiful set Madoc: child portraiture is not as easy as some people suppose. You always do it superbly! #2 and #7 are probably my favs — but how to choose? Composition, texture, light in #2 all contributing to the mood — something wondrous and almost ethereal! jagungal · 2008-06-10: 05:36

Great...but number 2 has me amazed,, that light in her eye is super! TIM927 · 2008-06-10: 05:37

Lovely portrait. Very beautiful!!! Flowerstone · 2008-06-10: 05:39

Gaaaarrgl!! Voila ce que j'appelle de beaux portaits..La 3, ma préférée. vincentd · 2008-06-11: 18:26

Stunning b&w photos that capture childhood. photopoet · 2008-06-11: 19:40

La 4 et la 7 son superbes! J'ardore la determination du gamin sur la balancoire, avec le ciel magnifique derriere, une exposition parfaite et un angle qui provoque une intimite avec le sujet. La fille dans la piscine irradie soit un shock ou une curiosite qui la rend bouche beate, avec la capture du petit derriere et une DOF qui le rend un peut flou, la photo donne un "feeling of depth" (mon francais et affreux ces jours!) et rend l'oeil sur la gamine...comme d'habitute superbe. the12thdude · 2008-06-12: 00:03

You are able to freeze such natural and joyful moments of childhood... in the middle of action! I really love the graininess of the first two b&w shots. Megan is a sunshine... and Kelly, she is a beautiful young lady, graceful and looks like she would just look into her future. It is so amazing that behind their "baby face" you can sometimes recognize and capture their adult look for a moment. Kelly looks so grown up on that shot, though I guess she is not older than 10. It is wonderful how you see and present children! longimanus · 2008-06-12: 08:02

La #2 est magnifique, à couper le souffle... matabou · 2008-06-12: 11:59

these are just perfect!! again I love the light on them! what great smiles!! made me smile for sure!!! abbeyh13 · 2008-06-12: 12:36

Et plouf! C'est la meilleure solution! miclaud · 2008-06-14: 17:29

These are all fabulous, but I adore #3! I always love the photos of your darlings! They are so adorable! mattandbranson · 2008-06-15: 10:34

Fantastic! I love them unige · 2008-06-15: 13:01

Excellent portraits of them... I have seen these children from time to time in your postings. May I ask whether these very cute children are your son and daughter ? ThomasChu · 2008-06-16: 01:03
