LA RISA DE TU MADRE IMPORTA
La risa de tu madre importa,
el silencio en la noche importa,
reconocerse pequeño importa,
y asustado importa,
abrir las manos por tus sueños importa,
las palabras cotidianas importan,
de cada día y de cada labio importan,
encontrarse en la hermosura importa.
Entre estos versos

de las ternuras que importan.
DEL LIBRO “TERNURAS QUE IMPORTAN”.

Thanks everyone, for your much appreciated comments and visits!
I posted a similar sepia version of this portrait earlier on but as I am rather pressed for time for post-processing new images, I am just posting some alternative versions of images already prepared in my archives. I usually save B&W and sepia versions of my colour images whilst working on them in PhotoShop.
@Kathy,
You were maybe referring to this one:
...who is not the same child. The above one is my adopted son, Vando, who like most of our kids seems to be a natural in front of the camera.
The "magical light" is always natural as I don't like using flash or other artificial light sources. I prefer a natural light source such as the light coming in through a window into a dark room, as in this particular portrait.

The use of negative space is a key element of artistic composition.
