About I know this shot has been done over and over again, but I have been waiting for an opportunity to do it. I originally intended on "cleaning" up dad's fingernails, but I didn't. I felt that showing the hard working hands that "support," this little guy was more realistic and moving, than if I had made it pretty. I hope you like it.

Dale, I can't seem to find anything in the "rulebook" under the "that's been done before" section. You have a beautiful piece here. Great composition, great tones and an absolutely great subject! The best rule is, there are no rules! Shoot from your heart.....Congratulations

Thanks so much Sarah. This was shot with only window light coming in from the right of the frame. I have two french doors that light comes in, and it was about 1:30 in the afternoon. I really would have liked a little more light actually. Glad you liked it!
