I took a candid picture of my five month old son, Logan. He just grabbed my books, picked up the chalk and started writing on the chalkboard. So, I grabbed my camera and took some picture… OK, yes, I’m just kidding, although Logan is always willing to learn something new and pose for some pictures.

This was just a picture taken in his room; it took me a while to decide what to take a picture of for the School Days/Education challenge. I had quite a few pictures of other related things and finally I decided on the chalkboard with books. However, that just wasn’t enough. What better to add than our smallest generation of scholars? I thought adding my son, which represents to me, ‘the youth and future’ of our society, would nicely finish the picture and representation education.

Hope you like it!

Cropping the books will be perfect I think. Contrast could be enhanced

you should of had the shot without the books - having the kid as the central subject

the main problem is the first thing that you see when it loads are books and that makes me click [1] without thinking - sorry

To me, my focus is drawn towards the book and yet it's out of focus. I don't know I am not an expert. I know you were not trying to focus on the book but perhaps the angle is what is throwing me.
