This is my first Lensbaby entry. I really hesitated entering this shot. I really LOVE this shot and I don't know if I'm up for all the OOF comments and the low scores they will bring. I suspect this shot will be right around my average. (5.5788)
--------------------------------------
I'm thrilled with the score and the fact I received it using my new Lensbaby Composer. This is currently the highest scoring shot using this lens. Of course there are only five shots, but who's counting.

WOW .. THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME .. it jumped out'v the page as a thumb in pik your fav pic and i had to open it up .. just wonderful .. really tho i think this deserves so much more in the score department .. it has everything .. a fantastic arty feel and the great interaction between the man and the child .. the processing is perfect .. i'm sitting here shaking my head coz it's just so good .. :)
I will tell you that I wish the background was different. I love these unscripted moments and the background made me think of a portrait session. This sounds harsher than I intend it to because I love the interaction that you captured. Love from the man and joy of the child - beautiful!
Looks like what I do with my 3 year old grandson. Makes him cackle hysterically. My 18 and 21 year old daughters don't care for it much anymore, however.
Those 'Hoodies' always remind me of people who are or think they are gangsters. Anyway, the photo is very good, I like the blurred effect and drab colors: 10
