Photo from my 5 year old.

He wants to take pictures with me. So I gave him my very old P & S Olympus. Most of them, well, they are taken by a 5 year old. I am proud, because he is trying. But tonight, he just "got it" was a beautiful shot and framed it right, so I thought I would share.

Comments appreciated

    What a beautiful sunset, you son even got the horizon straight by the looks of it too clap.gif

    I hope your son grows to love photography, what a wonderful feeling it must be to share a hobby with your children.

    Lovely shot, that's quite a fire in the sky kind of sunset too thumb.gif
    Thanks for sharing .... Skippy :D

    Enjoy the journey and with a little co-pilot it is even sweeter! Make sure you let him know what we all say.

    It's a very beautiful sunset. I'd be proud of it if I'd taken it myself! I say excellent job to anyone, but double excellent for a 5-yr old. Give him a high five, a pat on the back, and a big ol' hug for a job well done.

    Thank you to everyone who has commented. He is ready to go back out again today and see what else he can do. My husband says I have created a monster. Laughing.gif But I think a healthy hobby is great, plus it is something we can do together.

    I have been reading all the comments to him and it is really making him smile. Thank you iloveyou.gif
