Familial Love
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

I know this image is fraught with problems, but I liked the emotion displayed here so much, I tried my best (with my admittedly limited PS skills :-)) to save it. Shooting in this part of town can be downright impossible (for me, at least), with deep shadows and blinding sunlight at every turn. In any case, this is another girl named Merve (standing) with her mother and siblings. I am always impressed in this old part of town how the daughters seem to be very expressive of their love for their mothers when they are photographed together.

You are right, love is transcending this picture. The face of the mother is simply beautiful when she’s smiling. In fact, she is smiling with her eyes and this is always magic.
