Description

11-month old grandson Wesley doesn't care for his bath at first, but he quickly learns to settle down and enjoy it - especially at Grandma's house. Used a small Rogue Flash Bender with Diffusion Panel mounted on my Canon Speedlite 580EX-II. The flash head was mounted on the camera's hot shoe.

I saw a flash "hot spot" (reflection) on the base of the chrome sprayer that was a little distracting, so I cloned it out.

Thanks for Joy and Bob C for your prior comments:


Joy Rector: love this shot

Bob Cournoyer: Good one! Love those eyes... :-)
