I agree.

You did it (captured one of those small moments).

I'm loving #4 (Daddy to the Rescue). Only one I don't particularly care for is #2. The main guy has a good expression but the b/g guy feels like he's really looming over and not in sync w/ the main guy. I like #1 (not as much as #2), and #3 is great with the little one, but the larger context isn't fully working for me -- but I could (and likely am) very wrong.

thank you all. I put 3 in the challenge. 1 and 2 I thought were kinda funny with the light above his head...maybe I'm the only one that got it.
liz, i meant to respond to this in the other thread, but the fuzziness on her hair in 4 was just slower shutter speed. anyway i have some learning to do in this area. thanks again!

A very nice group of images. And don't worry about the overhead light, or any of those other 'rule breakers.' You've captured special, quiet moments here - and accomplishing that is far more important that obeying the 'rules.'
