MUCH better than plant-life penises. :-) I like Dad's patient smile - adds a very nice element to the shot. Flash makes it just a touch harsh, but certainly not that many 3-2-1 votes harsh!! Good choice on the crop, too.
I've seen so many of these moments! Every day in fact. :o) Tells a great story with a little bit of dad as comfort. Maybe show a little more of his face (tilt dad's head away from camera, and get eyelashes, maybe?) this might have also looked nice in black and white.
