Our Residental House Through Elliots Eye

Hello friends!

Completely defensless, lying flat on his back in the perambulator, Elliot was an easy prey for a dad with a camera. While (patiently) waiting for his mom outside where we live, I gave the macro function of my Sigma 70-300 a try. This is Elliots left right eye - this is what he saw, this is me photograping and waving to him (all my fingers except my tumb is "inside" the pupil) and this is the residental house we live in. :):

    The shot is amazing! If only you could photoshop yourself out and it was just the reflection of him looking at the house...

    IMO, I would not photoshop myself out! Fantastic photo, great skill with the DOF and the placement of the child!

    I love it!

    It's perfect, very striking. The best reflection shot I've seen in a dog's age.
    Maybe work a little on the title? "Elliot's World at X Months" "What Elliot Sees"
    A little better hook. But the shot doesn't need any work.
    If not now, when?

    Fantastic and a rare shot... plus he's got fabulous eyes! :wow

    (My only dislike is the way its cropped. He's looking towards the top-right so would have been better to see the eyes placed near the bottom-left of the frame.)
