Default Looks can deceive

This is set I worked up yesterday. My grandson is 22 months old and really can't talk much so I truly doubt he is capable of prayer, but I loved the set anyway. He is a serious little man.

Sheriliz you just captured a priceless moment. That is beautiful. And I also like the b/w conversion. It would be beautiful to look at after a couple of years when he is alread a bit older.

You have set this up so well and presented it with style. Did you pose your grandson in these positions and how did you actually get him to stay there, still?

I wonder if, on a continum, introspection isn't the baby steps of prayer. And maybe photography because it looks like he is taking life in the way photographers do. I love your presentation. BW was a great choice for the photo so adding a gray frame > white frame is right on the money. The brightness of the blue gives you a sense of his boyishness and adds a psychological "lightness" to the sober quality of the main photo. Your pics along the side show his many sides adding an emotional balance to your presentation as well. You must be living right to have taken this photo and the boy in the civil war enactment at the perfect moment. Wow!

Not really, He likes to play in our bedroom so I just raise the blinds and check the lighting and snap 20 or 30 shots, really REALLY FAST.
