Frog, this is so beautiful I cannot even tell you how moved I am by this photo. Your comp is perfect too imo!

Ditto to what everyone has said.....it brought a tear Beautiful

[Frog]

Thankyou everyone!
I was doing photos for my sons 4x4 club's poker run and he had one of the check points.
This was taken during a break in the action. I was shooting in aperture priority,(f/8) and jpeg fine as I wasn't going to be editing anything. They were loading the shots at camp and selling to make money for the club.
I turned, I focused on them, and then composed. I was pretty amazed when I opened the shot and yes there will be a few prints made.
Catching these moments is why I keep trying and why my eyes are constantly roving.

Wonderful image, Frog. This will be viewed by your son and grandson again years from now and bring on another smile and loving memory. Priceless!

Beautiful!

My only wish would have been to have the boy on the stump instead of his grandpa, but I'd still make a nice big print anyway with it.

[Frog]

Like this, Scott? I thought I'd like this better, too but still like the first one.

What a great shot, Frog. As Gary pointed out, it's going to be a source of delight for generations. Strong work!

One of your finest, Frog.

[jorgemonkey]

Yeap, composition wise the first one rocks & wins hands down

Thankyou, everyone. Its one of those shots that I'll treasure for life and maybe they will when I'm gone. An 11x14 print is on the way.

That is very cool frog...Very cool..The three boys out together with mother nature...Does not get much better..

Frog' there is more mood and emotion in this photograph than all the "perfect face to camera" shots put together that I have seen.
You're a good man Frog.

[Frog]

Thankyou, Overbeyond!

Someone once told me that "Beyond getting all the measurements correct,
-that is only the first stage-a photo should aim to evoke emotions,wonder,awe
and tell a story."

You got it all !.
Congratulations !

Wow, here's my three thumbs up! Two are not enough for this kind of work!

[polarbeardiggers]

You got the touch!
The second one looks slightly over saturated on my screen.
Would have been nice to have the second motif in landscape format as well. I think it works better with the scene because you don't need as much foreground and as much white fog.

You can be very proud, though, about son, grand son, and images.
