This really belongs in a gallery. It's so tender and speaks volumes. Incredible capture, Nikola.

I wonder if my mother ever held me like this when I was a kid, if I ever looked this loved.
I doubt it.

this is your most emotionally honest photograph yet, no false posing or trying too hard to be someone or thing. a complete joy of a powerful moment caught in time, no sadness underneath the image, beyond that of the growing and battles a parent faces with a growing child

this shot's so strong, it makes you look at it over and over again... first you're melted by the face of the mother, then you're captured by the expression of the daughter... also, all the tiny details like child's foot and mothers tattoo, make this shot for me.
these two look so dedicated to each other... this shot's captured with such great skill.

Mislim da mi je ovo def top 10 ever.
Nekako je i bezveze tj suvisno komentarisati ovaj perfektno uhvacen momenat i govor tela ova dva ljudska bica.
Posebno mi je drago sto su reakcije ljudi toliko divne. Ja sam na snimanju imala scenu da ulovim spontani poljubac u usta izmedju majke i deteta i skoro da su me lincovali ovde u Srbiji:-)
Puno pozdrava

Upon first sight it's difficult to tell whose strength is greater — the mother's or the child's, but upon further consideration it is clear that the young child's power comes from her beautiful mother. Breathtaking shot.
