Thanks for taking time to comment, it is appreciated.

I agree the frame is distracting and I tried to hide it as much as I could - hence the vignetting. This was not a posed shot it was a quick snap I took whilst at his younger brothers birthday. I would like to take some photos of Declan in a controlled environment but until then I will have to make do with what I take these days - snaps.

I gave this an 8 and was surprised it did not finish a lot higher. Lovely shot.
