I'm surprised nobody has commented on this one yet. I like it a lot, Ben. The aspect ratio is a little unusual. I would be tempted to crop some from the bottom, then boost the contrast ever so slightly. Nice DOF. :thumb

Thanks Richard. I'll take another look at the 1st. Here's another one with the same
idea in my mind

I think the first one works much better. There's no real connection between them in the second.

Agreed. The first shot is a much more powerful moment.

#1 with a crop just above the child's waistband. I'd like a tad more light on the man's eyes I think. Nice composition. :clap

What a sweet capture!! I love the serious look on the man's face, the gentle curve of the child's face and position of the head suggesting trust and connection with the man, and the contrast between his grizzly beard and the child't soft curly hair.

This one speaks to me.

Wonderful capture! I like the connection between the generations. Brighter on the second version (of the first shot) is better!

You are right about the connection, Granpa / Granson
Your words express my thoughts as I was taking this one, Thanks :D
