"this is an excellent family picture!" But the greatness of it wont be appreciated for another 30 years or so when this young lad can say to his children, "Your great grandpa took this picture of me when I was 12 years old!" :-) Now that's cool when you think about it! :-) And that's hard to put into a perspective while we're still vertical and breathing! But that's part of the magic in still photography within families! Unfortunately many families don't appreciate this as much as we photographers do. Well the "old farts" anyway! :-) Still a very nice tight full frame photograph. good on you! :-) cheers, ted
