So I waited until the last day and didn't have anything. I thought about setting something up, but that didn't really seem right. And I wasn't sure where to go to get a good story.

I went down to Colonial Williambsurg, figuring that people wouldn't been too fond of the stories there, but sometimes I could find other ones anyway.

I did like the people on their way to work, quite a bit:



But then I saw this boy and his dad. It was obviously a day out with dad. This probably would have been a better shot, and I kinda of regret not putting it in.



I love the interaction in the shot, but it seemed like the entry brought it down to just the basics.

The most important story of all:

And what I really wanted to title it, but I thought it was too over the top:

All you need is love

They would walk down the street, stop and point, run a race, hold hands, arms around each other, race again. It left me with such a wonderful feeling.



But I think the entry tells it all.

Thanks for the wonderful comments.

Lovely sentiment. The boy's posture implies confidence and pride to be with dad. The DOF choice works well for me too in setting a mood. I'm ambivalent about the upper right sharp foliage. One minute it seems distracting, the next it's providing an interesting focal context. Nice work - a top pick for me.

Quality time vs Quantity... no choice, the more the better. They are us tomorrow: Grow them well in the ways of a man in touch with his place in society.
Thank you very much for sharing your art with us. 8
