Just my son hanging out on a swing. This challenge was tough - this isn't necessarily my best attempt at Framing, but I really like this photo of my son.

Wow, didn't expect it to finish so low, but that's okay. I guess the sun flaring is a big no-no with photographers. I find it rather appealing myself, as do a minority of the voters who gave me a 6 and above. I think it definitely makes a better personal picture than a technically sound picture. Lessons to learn!
Nice. There is a gray cast that could have easily been lessed by adjusting levels or contrast. But I love the expression that you've caught that only one can get from a child.
from experience, shooting into sunlight usually causes more dstraction than the effect you might have been looking for. The flare here washes out the child's face a little *too* much. I wonder if it might have been a better shot to do from a slightly better angle to avoid the flare. Great idea, however.
