    His hand right after that picture went towards his mouth by my wife caught him before it got in. So we were lucky this time lol.

    Oh c'mon ... I ate loads of dirt and sand when I was a kid and I turned out ok right??

    Love the composition here Kev. You are down in his zone and have left some nice active space so we can also look the way he is looking. This is really good work in that regard.

    Colour wise I'm not so impressed. It's a bit too saturated for my liking for a shot like this. Baby should look more natural and both the sand and sky look unnatural to me.

    Looks like wifey was holding a reflector which has given baby a nice highlight on his forehead and lips. If I'm right then well done on that extra lighting. I think if that extra lighting was a bit stronger it might have helped a bit more but it's still an good move.

    Nice work.

    Very cool composition here.
    For me it's a colour cast again - seems yellowy to my eye.

    What funny about the reflector is, my wife was the reflector lol. She was wearing a white shirt and did the reflecting.
