This is for Dale's Challenge! Meet Everett, my youngest grandson, and his mother Kristi. He was tired after walking a long way on the beach, so he was in a cuddly moment! #1488278Jeff E Jensen September 24, 2012
Fantastic, Beth! Fits the challenge well and tells a great story. Well done. #10338404Teresa H. Hunt September 24, 2012
Oh I miss the days of little hands! This is a great story-telling image Beth :) #10339225Aimee C. Eisaman September 25, 2012
Awww what a great addition to the monthly challenge. I love the colors and warm light in this! :~) I do wish they were a bit more in focus...they seem soft, but it works as a dreamy feel. #10339996Michael Kelly September 25, 2012
Great addition to the challenge. I actually like the focus here which is narrow but highlights the subject well as the BG elements all get very soft. #10340738Peter W. Marks September 25, 2012
Ah, a story image and it works so very well Beth. Did you shoot this for the challenge or was it one you already had to hand. (I know! A pretty weak pun.) #10341153Beth Spencer September 25, 2012
Thanks everyone, I got this almost 2 weeks ago when we went to Texas to visit them.. I took so many pictures, just trying to get started on them. I did have the challenge in the back of my mind, but this is one of those moments you don't want to miss and I am sure several years from now, Neil and Kristi will be glad to have this one. #10341341Debbie E. Payne September 25, 2012
Fits the challenge perfectly, Beth. I just love to see children sleeping so soundly in their parents arms. Nice color, too! #10341352Rita K. Connell September 25, 2012
little childrens hands are just so cute .... I like how you capture these sweet hands holding on to his mama. #10341386Dale Hardin September 26, 2012
A moment we've all experienced and cherish. You've captured it well, Beth. #10342330Beth Spencer September 26, 2012
Thanks Rita, Debbie and Dale. I go back to work tomorrow, yuk!! I so miss this little guy, and will get some more pictures up hopefully soon... #10342893Kristin Duff September 29, 2012
congratulations on the EP Beth...this photo brought a lump to my throat and a tear forms in my eye as I write this message. A wonderful tender moment between mother and child...a wonderful memory- thank you! p.s. still crying... #10346793Beth Spencer September 30, 2012
Thank you Kristin, we never realize at the time how fast these moments are actually gone, but yet they live forever in our hearts. #10348180Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
