My dad's 80th birthday

Ambient only, shot with the s95.

Not quite sure how to handle these shots - I absolutely LOVE the childlike glee on his face as he interfaces with the cake but I'm not sure my storyboarding/PJ skills have quite nailed how to tell the story.

Thoughts?

At the size posted, it's hard for me to see much of his expression in the smaller shots. Personally, I think I'd just go with two images: the main one, and the last (bottom right.) Good results for such challenging lighting conditions.

Love it. Nothing wrong with your story telling skills.

Beautifully done, divamum. Your father looks to be a wonderful man. The shots of him with his cake, the happiness evident on his face, is simply great.

I really like the main shot. The look on his face makes the entire shot!

Thanks guys - obviously it works better than I thought it did!!

DM you got it right as usual. I agree though it is hard to tell from the small size of the image. However the goal is definitely successful, it tells the story.
