Very sweet, big eyes. Shame he doesn't have more tears on his face.
Photocat,
He is a lovely little child, but I am going to be the bad guy here and suggest that this could have been a much stronger image if it was not shot from above like aerial photography.
Getting down on your knees and shooting from the child's eye level would have given you a better image in that lovely light. Getting the camera lower would cost nothing, requires no new equipment, and gives a better childs view of the world. :slurp Try getting lower next time and see if you don't like the result better. He is too cute not to give this a try.

you are not a bad guy here... I agree totally with you. I am the one who is rolling on the grass to get a nice perspective... This was a stolen moment, I just pushed the button without thinking, and when I came home I saw how he looked... I pushed the button without much thought.
I will remember next time I hope...
On the other hand, I think this is a good picture of little Dan, because you see how small he is. If I would have been on his level, he would maybe not have looked up to his mom like he does now, and it would have been a totally different shot.
What I like about this picture is just the fact that he looks so sad and is looking up in an asking way...
A portrait I took last week of Danny, son of a friend of mine. He had been crying because his jacket fell in a puddle...
Comments welcome
I agree with Pathfinder cat but I'm so glad you got the shot anyway it's still adorable... go find him again get on yer knees and grab his lolly away from him....
