PhotoFeed Contest - Portrait Photography Round 97: Affection [ENG/ESP]
“Every gift which is given, even though it be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection.”
Pindar
Affection
Affection is a feeling of attachment or affection experienced with respect to something or someone. It is associated with love, although it has a lesser intensity or depth than love.
A person can feel affection for co-workers and neighbors; or even for multiple and diverse elements, such as a pet, a dessert, a book, a place or a memory. Being something completely subjective, the notion of affection can vary according to each person.
I took these pictures some years ago, on the swing of a small playground located inside a housing development in the neighboring city of Cabudare.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
El cariño es un sentimiento de apego o afecto que se experimenta respecto a algo o a alguien. Está asociado al amor, aunque posee una menor intensidad o profundidad que este.
Una persona puede sentir cariño por sus compañeros de trabajo y por sus vecinos; o incluso, por múltiples y diversos elementos, como pudiera ser una mascota, un postre, un libro, un lugar o un recuerdo. Siendo algo completamente subjetivo, la noción de cariño puede variar de acuerdo a cada persona.
Estas fotos las tomé algunos años atrás, en el columpio de un pequeño parque infantil ubicado en el interior de una urbanización en la vecina ciudad de Cabudare.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.
All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.

The photo really matches the subject 'affection'.
It does look a bit like a quick snapshot. I find it a pity that your model is wearing glasses. I like to see the eyes with portrait shoots. Although you cannot always do this when the sun is strong. A model with squinted eyes is also not very nice.
Good luck in the contest!
In this part of the world, the sun is usually quite strong and blinding even in these months when it is winter in many parts of the world, so it is normal to wear sunglasses.
When I took the photos a few years ago, it was during an improvised session simply to keep them as a "family memory", but nowadays I try to give them another meaning with the editing process, giving them an added value by turning them into artistic photos to be able to share them.
Merry Christmas @friendlymoose! ☃️
Nice capture @manuelgil64.
