This little man makes me very happy. When I got pregnant with him I was terrified to have a boy. I'd had 2 girls, and had been around girls all my life-I had no idea what to do with a boy. I remember thinking "will I love a boy as much as I do the girls?". And when he got here, and was taken away from me because he was so sick, I thought I would go crazy waiting to be considered well enough to go see him in the NICU. And when he was finally in my arms, I remember thinking how silly I was to wonder if I could love a boy as much as I love my girls-no question, I love this little bundle of energy, or frustration, of joy just as much as I love my daughters. My son. Those words used to scare me. And now I love them.
Does this shot work for you? He was in the backyard, jumping and being silly, and I liked the way the setting sun caught his 'hawk, and how soft and babyish his face looks, but I'm not sure the crop- or the comp -works. I'd love HHCC on this one. I tried my own version of lilyblue's honey on the second, and my own conversion on the last.
85mm. ss/500, f/3.5, ISO 200.

I LOVE the color version but I just ADORE the b&w! Wow, Jenn!! That hawk is AWESOME!! Makes me miss ours!! I have a feeling as soon as Yums' hair reaches shaggy football/surfer length I'm gonna want to run straight back to faux-hawk skater boy!! Rock it, Josh!!
I like the contrast between the spiky hair and the softness of the lighting. LOVE the b&W!!
I love them ALL! The lighting and the comp are just PERFECT to me. I can't even describe the feeling I get from this shot- especially the b&w! AMAZING! :)
