My husband and son enjoying our Saturday night movie ritual.

This is completely unposed, I was sitting behind with my daughter, watching my sons feet reach around to find his Daddy's pocket - obviously I had to excuse myself quietly and go grab my camera - SMILE!

Ya know, in the land of prizes and awards and fame and fortune from pictures, this single shot is worth more than anything. Safeguard it and make sure you can come back and admire it say 10, 20, 30 even 50 years from now and bring all those memories of this day, back up front.

I applaud you for capturing something that may be so commonplace, but so very precious!

I love this picture. Wonderful "real world" type of scene. Nice tonality and good use of the frame. Love the feet in the pockets thing going on. It's the small things that really make a special image.

I really think this is a great shot to sneak into his album. With my "babies" 24 and 26 years old I find myself remembering these treasures and glad to have the occassional photos documenting them.

Cool shot which reminds me of being a kid spending the afternoon with dad. A very nostalgic capture.

This is great, I love how he has his little feet in dad's back pockets. It's times like these that make you think, "I'm glad to be a dad"

Great shot. I ove the randomness that kids offer. Your sons feet reaching into his fathers pocket is classic.

I really like the angle of this, it leads you straight up to the top. Nice impact and emotion with the feet in the pockets. Beautiful moment!

Yaay so many nice things going on here!!!!

Love the different perspective and the fact that it is obviously so unposed. The feet in the pocket and your husband's arm draped around you son are just wonderful and I absolutely LOVE the DoF

Because it is so unposed the lighting in the room has created a couple of odd contrast points on the rug (to the left of your husbands knee and just around the corner of the cushion) but this is a small price to pay for keeping it natural

Maybe a slightly lower crop to remove the TV? although then you would need to be careful not to lose the top of your husbands head and the upper panel of the unit th TV is sitting on my look odd. No doubt to could get them to pose for the shot and address these little points but in my opinion if you did that you would lose its inherant slice of life beauty

Oh BTW...Husband!!! How do I break the news to Ev...He was ready to emigrate after day 1 ;-)
