I'm not big, in this kind of situation, on having the subject look at the photographer. - ------- >The youngster shot feels caught at an odd moment even though the light may >be right... >ditto from me. The test for me is would he like to be remembered that way ;-) - ----- I couldn't disagree more with the comments on the second shot. This is a wonderful photograph, catching a child being a child. This is what candid photography is all about - capturing the moments that most of us see, but don't see, and rarely freeze on film. If you want a shot of the child cleaned up, smiling for gramps, take him to Sears!;-) B. D.
