The key point is the litle guys eyes as he reacts to the kissing cuddling of his hand. A very good reaction to shoot time on your part of seeing it and shooting. Many others presented with this moment would've seen it then put the camera to their eye and missed the moment. Not you! Excellent reaction time to action motivating time. You are on the right track at capturing the moments that count, rather than the moments after the fact we see quite often posted here and other locations.. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
