To him it's quite the mountain to scale! Goes to show that we see as serious obstacles aren't really all that bad if we just give it a little time. Good solid composition and works well in B&W.
I'm with the 'liking the LB effect' crowd on this and whilst it may remove the appearance of said toddlers vast climb it helps the overall feel to this shot imho.
Hah! I've been here and done this! Would have been cool if you could have just had the little feet in focus and the rest of him heading for parts unknown. Nice B&W.
I can see some message about fleeting childhood due to the lensbaby blur, so I'm good with the lensbaby! And that patch on the bum, what an adorably sweet image!
I think I'd prefer it without LB. I'm a killjoy, yes? What I mean is it's somehow fighting with itself, and the empty side is winning. Yes, I know ... that makes no sense, but it's the best I can do at this hour.
