@ zfcentral: great viewer connection with this self concious boy. I like it a lot!
@SerbianAdonis, quite the contrary from Paul's shot, but you captured the mood very well
@kozmo, Good ones, I like the composition and build up of the first, only the WB seems a bit too yellow. The second is a beautiful tender moment where the B&W works really well. Might crop a bit from the left (not much happening there) but not absolutely needed.
You can see the April Foolishness 2023 exhibition here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum

What a flood of emotions here! First swimming lesson. We are not talking about Milorad Cavic here but I expected less frightful expression. I like it because it portrays his insecurity & fear so vividly..

Thanks! I'm glad you like the second shot because I'm fairly happy with it if for no other reason than it reminds me of when she's finished nursing.

On that first shot I actually had a few "silly facial expressions" to choose from - I didn't personally see this one as a near-sneeze situation but now that you mention it... Trying to go for a jokey sort of thing since the missus hates her hair like that. (And in the interest of full disclosure I was thinking of the website "awkward family photos" when I decided to develop this one!)

Paul, very nice photo, maybe a tad high on the exposure for my tastes but then that may be just it: comes down to a matter of taste at that point...

Her mother HATES it when her father coiffes her like this. I don't think Louise herself really cares...





Here's a companion piece to this shot I shared a couple weeks ago. The nighttime equivalent...

Something in this lad's world is just not right...
