 Yes, it's real drool, and he's the master drooler. I wasn't going to submit anything, but I couldn't resist entering this one once I saw it on my PC. Too much! Used my 550EX flash and my Sigma 15-30mm (probably 1 1/2 feet from Samuel's face) set @ 15mm, explaining the perspective distortion. I know ... the clutter in front is distracting and the flash looks too direct ... yawm. Just a fun shot. I hope I get over 5.

Now mix that with some mashed banana and you have got yourself a real treat... no the real question is - do you get to sleep our does your kid wake you up at 4.30 every morning?

Nice clarity and colorts. Cropping out the blue/green/yellow edges would have focused more attention on the baby's face.
