Default A Tear

I have to say that this tear was created because my son did not want to do his homework and that i thought he should. I just happened to be playing around with my camera on some other stuff when i took this shot.

he looks oppressed with what seem to be chain-linked fence in the background....lol but I really love the mood of this shot, and I am happy to see you had the foresight to make it black and white...just a PERFECT SHOT!!!

That's so MEAN! Making your son do his homework...lol! He looks so pitiful, but I'll bet he'll get over it. Being a parent is hard stuff. This is a great shot--save it, and cherish it when he's left the nest.

What an outstanding photo. Your choice of BW increases the scope of the photo from your son to Everyboy or even Everychild. Who doesn't recognize the struggle to endure the "slings and arrows" of an outrageous fortune (in this case, a parent who won't yield) expressed in this one tear? I repeat. This is a REALLY good photo!

Lindy, Like the way you put that.."the "slings and arrows" of an outrageous fortune (in this case, a parent who won't yield)". Been there...still enduring that.....and now back to the shot at hand.....I can see him envisioning "all the other boys" down at the ball field and him being chained at home with his homework. You're being a good parent though......like the others say, hang on to this....it will increase in value over time

I love this shot. Being in black and white makes it more powerful.
