Thanks.

I'll bet he's trying to see if he can make it stay on his face if he scrunches down his eyes. I used to do that when I was a good. Kids can amuse themselves endlessly. I like these pictures, so absolutely ordinary that they seem like old friends.

Thank you, Jack. Nice reading you.

this is timeless. i love the shallow dof, the toning, and especially the scrape on the knuckle. all contribute to that magic of making one feel like a kid again.

Thank you, Linda, thank you very much.

Great photo! Something about this photo puts me in agood mood. I love how the light hits his hand, it seems to be coming out of the picture!

Thanks for this very kind comment. I'm glad you like it. I wasn't quite sure about the blown areas on the fingers.

Brilliant shot Laurent. The whole series is great but this is a stand out. I love the DOF. What lens are you using? It makes the shot.

Kent, thank you. I used the 17-55 mm DX Nikon lens at f2,8 here. Nice having you back. Hope you've been doin' fine and had lots of great opportunities. Cheers.

Thanks Laurent. Its nice to see your work.

A strong image Laurent....compo, light, expression, DoF and tone work fine together to create a moody atmosphere...
