A quick shot of the youngest of our 3. Seem to get fairly decent shots of other peoples children, but struggle with ours. Maybe Im too busy yelling!

Hi Julia....being the mum of 2 boy's myself I know where you're coming from........they seem to hate posing for their mums lol. Tell him that when he's a famous as Jonny Wilkinson you'll sell these to the press lol

I like the "butter wouldn't melt" look he has, which is totally negated in the next shot of his HUGE tackle. Good DOF with the rugby posts in the background.

Really good composition Julia. The inclusion of the posts is a huge plus.
Your boy has a 'don't mess with me, I mean business' look on his face and its just perfect. Good use of colour. This is a framer.

the thumbnail caught me..it's the composition and the colors. I think your perspective is excellent and dof. I get the feeling that he is thinking, "Mom, you got 2 seconds..so you better get it done fast"..You have to be sneaky, so that cooperating doesn't enter into the equation...lol

Good composition and having a red shirt really makes him stand out, you have caught him with a good face expression and having the rugby posts in the background makes sure that this is a sporting event/image.

Thank you guys. I always feel a bit of an idiot paddling up and down the touch line. But it's worth it if I just get one decent shot in the day!
I'm off to explore the sports / events section of the gallery.
Cheers,
Julia
