This man was playing alongside the river with his little boy and little girl. He seemed like such a kind and loving father. I hope the tenderness that he showed for his children showed in this picture. They were totally unaware that I was on a bridge upstream taking pictures with my 400mm lens.

This is a wonderful capture. Makes me want to leave work early and go hug my little guy. ;^) You've done a great job in the composition, the exposure for lighting is right on the mark and you have a nice tonal range with the black & greys. Good luck in the challenge!
I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.
I like the tones here. The capture is good. Good cropping done. Some decent interest. It's a good 6 photo for me, and a 6 is one of the higher scores I gave in this challenge. Nice capture.
