First, I really enjoyed this competition. I am happy to win against such good entries,

Second, I have to apologize for the delay in posting this message. I am now in a strange country with an intermittent connection.

Now, the competition : I am asking for truly candid pictures of "love" expressions. It can be motherly love, people in love or in the process of seduction, or even some people trying to seduce you. The general atmosphere should be good (at least in apparence).

The main issue is that it must not be posed or calculated. This probably means no authorization was asked for, but if you had feelings for the people, this should be no problem.

One example for each of the three cases (taken in VietNam but the ethnic aspect is irrelevant).

I am sure you can do better, I really wait for your entries.

MOMMY TIME
Saw them playing in a public park and I captured their moment.


T'BOLI SIBLINGS
During our family pictorial of a T'boli tribe, the natives exhibited a very warm and friendly nature. They were very loving and caring towards elders and siblings. Big brother is very protective of his little sister. This was taken while they waited for their turn during the costume pictorial. By this time I was taking photos of their parents. From the corner of my eye, I saw little sis leaned over to him. She was getting tired. It tugged at my heart so I swung my camera and zoomed in on the two who were unaware. This candid capture always warms my heart.


I Heart Pa and Ma
My good friends Jerome and Rosette were celebrating their 10 years of marriage. From a distance, I asked their little daughter MJ to form a heart with her fingers and I captured their loving poses through the framing. The couple went about cuddling like there's no one else in the park.
