This is another shot of the little lad I put up last week (here and here) and I suspect, not too many years from now, he'll be a little more grateful about this sort of attention ;-)

Oh, and I defy you to tell me that this one didn't make you smile :-)

He's smiling on the inside, David, believe me! Wonderful look on the little lad's face.

I agree with Psychodudu. He is smilling in a way nobody could see. He's only curious about you and your camera. :-)

Right moment to capture. The background you chose fits the general tone - I like the colours as well as the composition and contrast between the girls and this little guy.

Love the reflection and clarity in the eyes!

comment by Ash at 01:47 AM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

Lovely expression... smiling all round here!

comment by P.J. at 06:59 AM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

That is fantastic. Down the road he'll look back at this photo and be like "hell yeah!"

comment by Jennifer at 08:04 AM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

Smile - more of a heart-felt chuckle - wonderful expression! Lovely comp and colours. I think you might be able to list this in your self-portrait section too - I'm sure I can see the man behind the lens in his eyes ;-)

Lol! love it

comment by Monica Krebs at 08:47 AM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

Lovely one, indeed!
Did you received my emails?

comment by EOS Chaos at 11:38 AM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

Lovely shot, definitely made me smile. This is going to be creating smiles for years to come. Really nice shot.

comment by Pete Carr at 12:25 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

Aw. Lovely eyes. Why doesn't my nephew have eyes like that! The detail is fantastic.

comment by Hitesh Sawlani at 12:30 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

The baby seems disturbed...

comment by Dominic at 02:06 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

When we getting the old Chromasia back?

comment by pk at 03:35 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

Great shot! I see that you use flash in lot of your portrait shots. Do you use any modifiers on the flash?

comment by Alice at 03:49 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

This definitely made me smile. What a great shot! Such a cute little guy....

comment by Parker at 04:15 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

A fantastic portrait! I, like Dominic, love the "old Chromasia" ...the artistic pictures of ordinary things and people caught unawares were what drew me here in the first place. But I'm glad you uploaded this image, which really brightened my morning. You're the photographer: take your own photos and put 'em on the site, and I can all but guarantee I'll be enthralled by the vast majority of them. :-)

comment by simon goodchild at 04:41 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

Bounced flash?

comment by Regis at 05:52 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

This expression is precious !!!

comment by djn1 at 06:31 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

Thanks everyone, I thought you'd like this one.

Jennifer: yep, you can see my reflection.

Monica: thanks, and yes, I did.

Hitesh: only by all the attention he was getting.

Dominic: as soon as I have some time to take photographs of anything other than babies ;-)

pk and Simom: the flash was bounced off the ceiling.

comment by Mark at 07:01 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

What a great moment you've captured.

comment by Alexandru at 09:08 PM (GMT) on 14 February, 2007

I bet he's thinking : No fool! You're using the wrong shutter speed :)).
He's a cute kid.

comment by MarkDM at 07:42 AM (GMT) on 16 February, 2007

This cracks me up.

comment by navin at 12:12 PM (GMT) on 16 February, 2007

Very cute. I can see your reflection in his eyes.

comment by puzzled at 09:04 PM (GMT) on 18 February, 2007

This is so funny! I love everything about it, right down to that ever-so-soft and comfy jumper he's wearing.

comment by Kenneth Skou at 04:03 PM (GMT) on 23 February, 2007

Hi,

Not to happy about the situation :)

Great shot - both this one and the others in this series.
