Sorry, I don't get it. Is this "daddy" taking his belt off to give a child a spanking? Or is he holding a wooden paddle to do the same thing? What's happening?

This is very sad, especially if the photographer's thoughts of childhood conjure up this image of a condescending man weilding a belt. Sadly, while there have been many photographs in this challenge that I feel were not appropriately depicting 'childhood', this one, for some, does.

Great photo. I like the shillouette, nothing more needs to be said. If you relate as well as I do...I am truely sorry. However, we learn a lot from our parents. I learned how NOT to raise my child. :) Great depiction of my side of the fence. Thank you for having the bravery to post. For those perfect families, they might not "get it" just ignore it. YOU know your photo works, I know your photo works. Ask the millions of social workers out there...they know your photo works. Good luck in the challenge.

Ohhh, that bring back bad memories...... Great shot, very, very effective. The closest thing to a suggestion would be to show the belt buckle, as the belt is the hardest to catch part of this shot and the most necessary! 9 Swash
