I was taking pictures of my son's baseball game when I heard a child crying. I turned around and saw this -- my daughter in tears and her daddy comforting her. (he was only using one arm because the other is in a robo-cop type brace for a broken elbow).

Now I know why all those big bad beaten black and blues men sing 'Oh baby'.

Great take. Please tell me she's better now?

nice moment... is this a huge crop?

Sweet shot - I would suggest a tighter crop on the father and daughter's faces, I feel like there is too much negative space to the right of the shot.

Wow. Very up close and personal. Can only be candid.

An openly candid moment of sadness and joy, this was a spur of the moment capture that instantly is recognizable to anyone who has children. A very effective composition from both an artistic and technical standpoint, the very poignant effect is palpable. A great candid capture which should place well if not a ribbon contender. Well done.

I'm excited because this is an actual candid in the sea of non-candids. I love the moment you captured. Perhaps this image would have more impact, if you had chosen a tighter crop. 6 nonetheless.
