Dunno bout you, but this one’s definitely one of my favorites :) I took it while finishing my photo day the day before yesterday.
The kid at the picture just got his helium inflated baloon and one could read happiness at his face :) You can see him marching proudly as if he’s holding a flagpole. That moment he was the king in his own castle in his own world. I shared his joy..I captured his coronation.
I miss a better focus though..that’s why the photo might appear oversharpened or grainy to someone. However, I liked that touch of “gramma’s old photo album” :)

It is a good shot, the subject is awesome especially with that inflatable in tow! I think the contrast is pushed a tad high, I certainly don’t mind the grain though!
I like how I didn’t even necessarily need your description to get the feel of all that you said from the photograph. Nicely spotted. :)
Nice shot … love the expression on the kids face :)
It’s a pity the background is so clear. Distracting a little bit.
I agree, however, that was the widest apperture I could use :)
