My husband and son enjoying our Saturday night movie ritual.
This is completely unposed, I was sitting behind with my daughter, watching my sons feet reach around to find his Daddy's pocket - obviously I had to excuse myself quietly and go grab my camera - SMILE!
Ya know, in the land of prizes and awards and fame and fortune from pictures, this single shot is worth more than anything. Safeguard it and make sure you can come back and admire it say 10, 20, 30 even 50 years from now and bring all those memories of this day, back up front.
I applaud you for capturing something that may be so commonplace, but so very precious!
that was the first thing that caught my eye, the little feet resting on daddy and sneaking into his pocket lol. one of those "unconditional love" moments - so sweet!
I love this picture. Wonderful "real world" type of scene. Nice tonality and good use of the frame. Love the feet in the pockets thing going on. It's the small things that really make a special image.
I really think this is a great shot to sneak into his album. With my "babies" 24 and 26 years old I find myself remembering these treasures and glad to have the occassional photos documenting them.
great shot lisa ... and a great feeling .. i love how dad's arm is around your son .. those two heads ... the feet .. ha! .. just noticed that your sons' feet are in his dads back pocket ... cute as ... :) .. reckon you should put this in a frame and stick it beside the tv !!
minute later ... dohhhhh ... just read your comment about the feet in the pocket ... :)
his little feet in father's pocket are soo cute :) i LOVE this, lisa. techniquely wonderful, i like the composition, perspective and dof a lot. and the spontaneity of this shot really makes it. this made me smile really big, thanks for sharing it.
Love the different perspective and the fact that it is obviously so unposed. The feet in the pocket and your husband's arm draped around you son are just wonderful and I absolutely LOVE the DoF
Because it is so unposed the lighting in the room has created a couple of odd contrast points on the rug (to the left of your husbands knee and just around the corner of the cushion) but this is a small price to pay for keeping it natural
Maybe a slightly lower crop to remove the TV? although then you would need to be careful not to lose the top of your husbands head and the upper panel of the unit th TV is sitting on my look odd. No doubt to could get them to pose for the shot and address these little points but in my opinion if you did that you would lose its inherant slice of life beauty
Oh BTW...Husband!!! How do I break the news to Ev...He was ready to emigrate after day 1 ;-)
