YES!
Wow, I'm the first to sign your portfolio, David. It's really a honour for me.
You have a sort of magic in taking children pictures. They are very difficult to catch and the great part of the children pictures you can see all around have some value just for parents and other relatives. But in your case, on the contrary, you are able to take "universal pictures", you photograph the people they are and not the "children" and so they look exactly what they are: wonderful promises for a better future. Many compliments for your work and don't stop to upload.
Mauro

Frederick Dunn

VERY nice
I can think of few subjects in portraiture, more noble and essential, than capturing moments of the joy of youth... transient and ephemeral
In some way, by photographing children in moments of discovery and wonder, we re-live those moments ourselves.
I'm pleased to know that there are photographers like you out there, expertly capturing these days of young life.
Keep it up... extraordinary really

Hi David
Although I rated and commented several of your photos I just realized I never commented on your portfolio. David, your photos never cease to amaze me. When I grow up - photographically speaking - I want to be able to make portraits as yours.

I like very much the portrait's work with you do, the way you get the expression, inocent and naturality of the children is a present, wich no everyone can do.
I will be happy to see more of your portrait's work in the future, that is also one source of inspiration for me. Gratulations..!
