This reminds me of camping as a child. I did the same thing with my first pocket knife. The tones you used are particularly compelling as is the bokeh.

Does this fall within the required time lines for the challenge? Do I see a DQ coming? ;)

I liked this shot in challenge as I do now. Great feel, love that its not sharp. And beyond that I have a young boy and I can relate to this kind of scene.

I'll just quote Deb, because she is 100% correct!!!

...and Pasta...you don't remember when you got your very first pocket knife and all the hours spent carving points onto sticks!

What on earth? I expected to see this at least in the top 50! Everything about this is wonderful.

PostLuminous Award Nominee!
This IS the first thing a boy does with his new/first pocketknife. Well seen, well composed, well executed--nostalgic and luminous

something a little menacing about this photo. man's potential for violence?
