portrait of my son

[Jaedon]

so here I was sitting in the backyard camera in hand and I saw this awesome shot just waiting to be taken. I shot it twice.. I like them both.. but can't decide which one is better.

post correction: darkened the shadows a bit and added a bit more contrast.

I like the top one better, the baby is smiling in that one. very cute! love the sharpness of the glasses and rather than the background being too busy, I kind of like the extra props you've got there.

Nice - and we can even see you!

Lol yeah ... shooting a reflection its hard for the camera man to remain anonymous.

I kind of like the extra props you've got there.

Isn't it funny how the best pictures just happen? We had just finished doing some gardening and he was fussy so I sat down with him on my lap and then asked my oldest to go grab my camera so I could get the shot.

Hi Jaedon,
I like your idea a lot. The reflection of you and your son on each of the glass lens is wonderful.
