Candid shot of my son pond-dipping in his grandmother's garden. He was actually looking for tadpoles but I just thought of the Nemo title as soon as I saw the image on screen.
Accidentally left camera on ISO 400 after shooting indoor at a wedding the night before (Ooops!?), hence the noise in the image - it was also a dull day.

I'll bet this doesn't score all too high with the DPC crowd because of it's simplicity, but this is one of the better ones and spot on with the challenge. only suggestion would be I'd love to see the boy's face.
This is pretty good, but a couple of nitpicks. The boy is a bit too far over in the frame, with his heel cut off and his face is in shadows. Perhaps some fill flash, or use of the shadow/highlight adjustment could help with that.
