Default 7years old kid with a camera at the zoo

Here´s a capture of my seven years old boy. We went to a zoo, I handed him my camera since I was kind of busy helping a friend to take pictures of food in a restaurant. We was so exited that I lent him my Canon S5IS so he could with his mom to take pictures while I finished what I was doing. Well, between both of them I ended up with drained batteries.

This is one of his shots:

Pavorreal / Peacock (Phasianidae Galliformes)

Thanks for looking.

A nice one for his age. Maybe he'll become a famous photographer one day.

Mmm... Now I'm gonna call my mom and ask her why she never gave me a camera when I was 7?..

Hi all!

Thanks you for looking at this post and for your kind comments, which I will surely pass to my son. He is very proud of his shot.

Sparda79. Who knows, maybe he will. Mmmm, I should call my parents and them too! lol.
Fromthebackof ahorse: I surely will, thanks a lot!
Junj: Thanks a lot! Well, he has been asking for a camera of his own for months ... looks like it is just about time to get it. I think he has demonstrated he deserves it.
Shelley S: Thanks a lot! He is very exited knowing that his photo is posted here at DPS.

I was amazed by his composition. Just for the record, I only twicked the color a bit. No cropping at all or any other PP.

Here he is:
Portrait / Natural midday light

Well done little 7 year old! You took the prize from your Dad this time. I love the brilliant colours of this beautiful bird. "Dad, you had better lone him your camera again some time".
