I know, a kid & his toys in a tub of warm water...hey, it doesn't get much better than this. I'm not sure what I'm reading in his face...looks like he'd rather just PLAY with his trucks than pose with them! This looks much better as a jpeg than it did last night.

From John down under:
Hi there,
That looks great, especially the face, now that the pic is not limited by GIF as it was in the first posting. You could have just replaced the original pic in the same place in this gallery by editing the original pic from within the gallery, then uploading through the bottom of that edit page, but not to worry.
While this pic does not scream out joy to me, it is certainly a happy pic. In fact, I am feeling quite envious of this young man with his nice tub, surrounded by his toys! ;o) If it was me preparing such a pic, I would make sure I didn't chop off the yellow vehicle. I would probably look to move the subject off-centre (the height is good) and perhaps have the toys somehow leading to the boy to fill some of the resulting space and highlight the subject, but there are many ways of composing and framing. As they are, the toys almost symbolise a smile that frames the boy, and that is not a bad way to do it either.
Cheers, John
