I love it! #10408197Rita K. Connell November 07, 2012
He was having so much fun and I love that I capture his with such an intent look on his face #10408225Elaine Hessler November 07, 2012
Cute! At first I thought he was doing a Kung fu move the way he has his leg out! Looks like a lot of fun! #10408803Michael Kelly November 07, 2012
Looks like a blast. I agree on the impression of a Kung fu move. #10409111Peter W. Marks November 08, 2012
Not wanting to be a party pooper but- Yes while it's fun, people have been killed when one of those round bales rolls down a sloping field. They weigh from 700lb upwards. It is not something I would encourage kids to play on.Rita K. Connell November 08, 2012
I am sure the kung fu thought came across his mind. Pete thanks this had stakes in the ground behind it so it wouldn't move so the kids could play on it. #10409684Brandi K. Mills November 08, 2012
Very fun shot! #10409770Peter W. Marks November 08, 2012
And thanks for your response re the stakes, Rita. Now, anyone else who looks at your gallery and sees this fun image will know what to check for if they imitate it. #10409819Debbie E. Payne November 08, 2012
Rita -- this is a very cool action shot that you caught here with your good timing. I rarely get the chance to take pictures of hay bales but did get close enough to take a few shots when traveling through Amish country. How is that tooth doing? #10410614Aimee C. Eisaman November 09, 2012
Cute action shot! :~) I got the impressing this was a karate kick or something. I see you already entered it, but I would have suggested straightening the horizon if you had more room than what is shown here. Ya know someone has to say something...Dale isn't here! #10411775Rita K. Connell November 09, 2012
thanks debbie, hay bales can be interesting to take picture of.aimee I thought about that but if you look at the hay bale it is straight and the back horizon really had that tilt. #10412098
