Haven't been around much, work has been getting in the way again.
Thought I'd upload something as its been a while, more use of displacement maps to put the shadow of razorwire over the original image.
The image is based on the balance most parents have to judge between freedom and protection for their kids.
I have a couple of days leave so will be catching up on the shots I have missed hopefully

Let me be the first to give you a major click.. Welcome back brother, you've been sorely missed... And to come back with such a cracker can only mean 'into the hundreds of clicks we go'!!... Great work mate, you've really got the displacement mapping down to a tee... Love it... Your friend.. 5 (Love the selective colouring on the eyes too)...
Hi Mo,your son makes a fantastic model for you and on such a subject as this,you have chosen a stoater of a shot Mo and as you say it is a fine balance.I agree with 5,into the hundreds with this one.Glad to have you back Mo,missed you and your work.Magnificent composition.Take care.Ann
A brilliant composition, You've caught the subject really well with the expression of innocence. The added displacement mapping is, for me at leat, a stroke of pure genious, and turns the image into a peice of art. I love the sense of loneliness about it too. It's a cracking provocative image and the clicks are going to fly in.
Excellent work that deserves all the credit it's going to get. BIG CLICK from me.
Bold statement, Very powerful, and having a 6m old son, his freedom is so important to me. To be free to accomplish anything his heart leads him to do(in God's eyes).Thank you for this shot, it makes me reflect.
An outstanding shot Mo, love the detail very emotional the eyes are stunning too......

when I first saw the thumb nail and the title, I thought that this was a child from Israel
behind the wall, my eldest sons wife's family live there and I have often thought that the wall which they say is keeping them safe is also keeping them prisoners,
Any way the description is of a different meaning which is close to my heart as I work with children and I have often thought about the message that your picture is about, are we freeing the children from danger, or are we making prisoners of them beautiful flowers in a hot house environment
your photo is very beautiful, and thought provoking, the little boy is a little charmer
well done
p.s. sorry to ramble on a bit

Great idea, beautifully accomplished Mo, well done.
David
Very well done Mo! Just as a portrait, it has great light and personality. But the shadows and your description add another layer to it that makes it stand out.
Patrick
A great result Mo, I really like the selective colouring of the eyes too,
Chris.
I agree - an evocative and powerful shot. Mo, you have an ability to produce a simple image that speaks volumes. Perhaps you should pursue an avenue as a political cartoonist. Nick.
This is one powerful shot Mo that goes way beyond words so I will just leave it there and say wonderful stuff my friend.
Take care Victor
I'm lost for words of praise on this Mo, other than to say how well you've got into the use of displacement maps, something I promised myself I'd look into and so far I've only got as far as type, layered on to an undulating surface...this of yours is into a realm I haven't yet explored. I admire the capacity you have for coming up with unique ideas, like Victor, you seem to generate them, endlessly
Cheers...Leo
Mo, An evocative image, I'm not sure about razor wire to express this subject matter. It could certainly be used in some circumstances around the world on a more political note... Good to see your active on the site again. Work does get in the way for sure:0)
Davey P.
hi m8 hope you are keeping well
this is another gr8 shot well done
cheers
I really like this not just for the excellent quality of the image and the work on it .... but for the thought provoking message you have written with it! Brilliant! Click*
