i deem mark an official internet hero. i just received this image in a chain email entitled "little boys" that features a collection of maybe 15 shots of boys being boys. this one was instantly recognizable (as well as the best one in the bunch).
I love this shot! It is timeless as mentioned. And we (Americans) tend to be so hung up on the human body and what is and isn't appropriate. This is genuine childhood curiosity and I'm sure brought a lot of smiles and maybe a few memories back to many!
Priceless is quite the perfect word for this one! What a wonderful moment. What a capture. Technically, it is even sound, focus and exposure good, and you've nicely avoided any background clutter so often present in family, candid, type shots. I look at a photo like this and find it is amusing (downright hilarious in this case), and at the same time charming and endearing. I look at it, and it allows me, if even for a brief moment, to escape the stress and worries and problems of being an adult in this world, and to remember and appreciate the really important and prescious things. Children are a special gift. This is just wonderful, thank-you for sharing!
Amazingly wonderful image. New meaning to the term "ants in her pants"... Not only does this capture the (priceless) moment, it's also technically flawless re: lighting and focus. Instant favorite.
Thanks for the smile! With three kids around here they are always doing something funny - most of the time a camera isn't there at that "moment". You caught that "moment". Wonderful!!! ;^)
