I have this to look forward to in about a month - my granddaughter turns one August 25. I think he enjoyed it though he looks a bit apprehensive. Voted earlier.
My second highest vote.
If the child was smiling or looked happy, I would have bumped up the score to tie my highest vote, otherwise it's still a really good image.
Love the shot but would have fit the theme of feel good a bit better if the child was laughing. This looks like oops I got caught. Therefore I had to lower my rating to 7
One of my favorite type of newspaper assignments is to capture "wild art", which is defined as "Stand-Alone, Feature Shot, Enterprise art are found moments that are intended to be realistic slices of everyday life" (definition taken from this glossary). These are typically images that caption themselves, not needing a lot of words to get their point across. For this challenge, I'm scoring images as whether I'd like to see them on the front page of a paper as feel good wild art. If I don't think they would make the paper, I'm then asking myself, "does it make me feel good?" If it doesn't do much for me, well then, oh well...
While this isn't necessarily a "spreading the good news" shot, it sure makes me feel good! Nicely done!
