This was supposed to be the perfect shot of a detail of mother and son. Apparently the little guy had other plans... LOL
Studio lighting, shutter 1/80, f5.4, cropped and converted to black & white in PSCS

Funny ... His Mom definitely has a little something to share with his future girlfriends! #1123224Marsha S. Smith February 21, 2005
Susana, this is the funniest thing I have seen in a while. I love it. Beautiful image and great 'water effects' LOL :) #1123322Susana Ms Heide February 22, 2005
Kimberly, Mellanie, Stephanie and Marsha: Thanks gals for your wonderful feedback!! The mother of the baby and I laughed so hard!! I thought it would be a ruined shot but when I saw it I loved it!! Too bad the monthly theme isn't humor. Would have made a good submission for that I think :o) #1125748Mary J. Costa Pearson February 23, 2005
Oh this is SO FUNNY!!! LOL what a great, unexpected shot! The lighting is great, and I love the bw on this. I agree with Marsha, great "water effects" lol #1128548Susana Ms Heide February 23, 2005
Your feedback means a lot, Mary!! I'm so glad I captured the moment. Hehehe... #1128722Melissa L. Zavadil March 27, 2005
OK, you commented on one of my photo's once that I captured the essence of a boy. Now I think that YOU topped ME on this one!!!! OH MY WORD (LOL) Do you have any idea how many times this happens to a mother of THREE BOYS!! (LOL) THIS IS THE TRUE ESSENCE OF A BOY! #1209983Melissa L. Zavadil March 27, 2005
OH MY I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING I HAD TO RESPOND AGAIN!!! GREAT CAPTURE!! #1209989Susana Ms Heide March 27, 2005
You got ME laughing too with your comment!! I'm glad this brightened your day! The mother of the baby and I had a good laugh at the session too! She got this one enlarged! LOL Thanks for the comments, Melissa!! #1210300Betsy M. Eaves October 02, 2005
HA HA HA! This is wonderful! I work at a portrait studio & we try naked shots of babies all the time. And believe me, nature calls a lot when a baby has a chance to be free! ;o) But this is quite a 'classy' catch on an 'oops' moment! I love it in B&W, too!Susana Ms Heide October 02, 2005
