wonderful smile, immediately transferred to the viewer...only minor nit to me is his arm...

Thanks CJ. But first things first, I'm still single. This fine gentleman in the photo is my dear nephew. I like him very much (and he gets jealous when I play with his lovely twin sisters. It's a struggle to make them all happy. But that's what uncles have to do I guess). Where were we. Oh, the hand. I asked him to go crazy (not that he needs my permission) and he did...and I took a picture of it :)

I love the expression of joy on your sons face. It looks like he is having a great time being outside in the nice May weather. I like the composition but would have liked to have seen what was in that hand! :-) CJ

Hey Aam. I just got back from vacation and am getting around to commenting on all the gallery. There are many wonderful shots, but as I work my way through them I am realizing this image suggests May more than many of them now :-)

Thanks Brent.

I thought "May" means the end of winter and the beginning of summer so people, especially kids, go out and play. That's my understanding at least.

Thanks for your comment mate -- used "mate" since you just returned from England :)

Very nice Aam. Although I have to stretch a little to think of May with this one there is no denying what a great shot it is- well done.

Thanks Britt.

Tells a nice story aam. Nice job.

Thanks RK. I'm having a blast with the 50 1.4.

Love the kids expression...and I like the DOF here.

DOF on a 1.6 crop cameras like the XT/20D can get a little frustrating at times.
Rod 13-May-2006 06:12
Aamm are you inferring that I don't have control over me DOF mate:-)
Nice lens though init.
aam1234 12-May-2006 21:42
Thanks Alexeig, I'm having a blast with the 50 1.4. Finally we have control of DOF.
alexeig12-May-2006 21:01
Very nice relaxed feel to this and very appropriate DOF. Congratulations with the new toy too

Thanks Abs and good point. Glad you liked it. I thought that space gives an idea about the surroundings and what's going on,jmo.
Btw, we haven't seen you around lately, gotten married already?

A very sweet portrait. Nice work Aam.
Although I dont see the need of so much empty space on the left and top of the frame. -Abstract

Thanks Paul. In July he'll be wearing a swim suit and dipping into water. Hmm, he could do that in May too :)
Paul 12-May-2006 12:31
This is a nice shot and the arm doesn't bother me as the main focal point is the shiny happy face. May though? More like July.
aam1234 12-May-2006 08:51
Thanks Rod.
Rod 12-May-2006 08:42
Very nice natural shot Aaaamm but I'm not sure about the oof arm. well done mate.
aam1234 12-May-2006 05:24
Thank you ladies, glad you liked it. This is my nephew.

Sweet portrait. Love his expression. I'd like to meet this kid! Ann C
