    Priceless! Love the interplay between the child and the person he is gazing at. And the body language of the parents is excellent.

    But where are your dogs? ne_nau.gif

    Laughing.gif! The answer to the dog question is that I accompany them, they do not normally accompany me. So if it's not dog time - no dogs. And thanks - I love this one.

    If ambiguity rules the roost in this genre of photography...as I'm assured it does...then you have hit an absolute home run, BD.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks, all. I believe there may be something at play here besides ambiguity, the woman's obvious joy, and the compositional elements - For those of us of a certain age, her posture may be reminding us of this iconic Alfred Eisenstadt image (my daughter, the (Photo) Gallery Girl, picked up on it before I did:
