Here's another of Finley, taken yesterday afternoon as we took a stroll around the woods at Beacon Fell. Moments before he'd been happily running ahead, but then he tripped and fell face down in a muddy hole. This was taken just as Libby helped him up. A few seconds later he was off on his way again, none the worse for wear.

Very emotional, and nice bw contrast!

Poor child... what did they do to him?

Wonder where those muddy paws went - all over Mum's clean togs if he's anything like mine were!

Ah... Ok! I've read the text! ;-)

You've caught the moment delightfully. Heck Finley might show some embarassment when you show him this when he's a teenager! But I guess you'll go on loving it yourselves.

I love the black background. I never would have guessed that this was taken out in the woods. All the focus is squarely the the munchkin's emotional state. A hint of the mud on the fingers/jacket to indicate a problem and an adult's hand showing a relationship. But... for this instant. It's all about him. Neat.

Been there, done that. Nicely captured. I like the dark background.

Interesting comments, I'd say. I adore this photo. Perfectly shot and just absolutely love that contrast and ratio. A beautiful boy, and a lovely portrait of motherhood and childhood - dare I say, boyhood :D.

That is such a great image. You captured an interesting moment. I love that the mud is on his hands.

Thanks all :-)

This is great simply because it's such a snapshot moment, a moment later everything is different. When we're kids life is so much like a rollercoaster, up and down so fast!
