Default Almost deleted
I was doing a bit of housework in my photos and nearly deleted this one because it was poorly exposed, but because I liked the expression on his face I decided to play with it in photoshop. Rather glad I did now.

what a crying fuss he made......the face and expression is sharp......everything else is secondary....for that matter it looks as though it were shot in a studio with that solid white background...I think it turned out great

Three cheers for second chances. Indeed, re-thinking this one was a good choice. Is that sweat...from the heat?...the pool?....chores? I love his baby features and beautiful eyes. What a lovely boy!

I am so glad you didn't delete this Michele, he is sooo gorgeous with his face awash with tears. The B&W works really well.

Thankyou Patrick, although he is not unhappy, he was having a ball playing in water.

Thankyou Lindy, I'm happy with it, very glad I took a second look. He is wet from water, he was running into a little blow-up wadding pool, the look is just one of concentration.

Thankyou Angelb, not tears, just water he was playing in, he always has that sad hound-dog look.
