It is a cute, candid moment - a few of the child as a child. And, again we disagree, I don't buy the 'only take of a child what you would take of an adult' line. I would certainly shoot kids in the bath tub - for the family. I wouldn't shoot adults in the bathtub - unless they specifically asked me to. ;-)... But, like everything else, this is certainly a matter of taste and choice. You want your kid picks with the faces clean, the hair brushed and parted, and the smile angelic, then take them that way. They're your kids and your photos. B.

Change the child being a child to an adult being an adult would you still think it was good? It shouldn't only work because it's a child should it? If the mouth was mostly closed I may have a different opinion. And no one said they wanted a cleaned up smiling Sears shot...? Do you have nightmares about that from when you were young ;) - -- John Chicago, IL http://SlideOne.com ==================== - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
