I grabbed this shot at my son's 5th b-day party. The action isn't stopped completely, but I was pleased that it showed the motion as well as the emotion. :):

    You can see his voice of excitement, driving the ears of a happy laborer.

    Very nice capture.

    I love this. The boys are so unaware of you and your camera and that's the only way that you can grab a shot like this. The panning is well done and if you think that your subject is not totally sharp, I say it doesn't matter. This picture is a glimpse INTO a moment of time and it remains part of the larger context. If the boys had been aware of your camera I fear that you would have ended up with a moment extracted OUT OF the larger context.

    Hope my babeling lets you know what I mean.
