 My work is doing SAP and web development. However, I don't define myself with my job. I am first and foremost a dad to my 6 year old boy. I expect I'll get a few DNMC since this is not what I do for a living, it is what I do to live!

This is a terrific shot, but more importantly it's a wonderful memory-keeper.

Thanks for reminding me of what's important - my family and other stuff I "do to live." I was way too literal and stuck for ideas, when I should've found something like what you did.

Wonderful shot. This will be one that your boy will look back on in years to come and know that his father loves him. Just an excellent image. Well done!

Nice theme. good composition. Lighting a little flat. Lovely expressions, though. And DOF works well.

Looks like the cat found a mouse and dad is asleep. Nice dof and clearity, very well captured.

nice, not sure if you were sleeping/nodding off. nice touch. may have found some way to accent the cat also(?sharpen the eye?).
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very sweet. Background is a bit busy. The cat/child/father/book composition is wonderful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice lighting, beautiful capture. It would be better to get rid of the black cat. Cat's ear covers part of the hands and I think those hands are very important in this composition.

classic. looks slightly over processed in the faces, loss of facial detail.

This is a great photo. It looks very natural, not like in the studio! Great.

Sleeping, or merely looking down? Great emotional capture in any case!

Beautiful shot. Added to my faves when I first came through and voted. Funny that it wasnt until my third time viewing that I even noticed the cat. Excellent image, excellent editing, I hope to see this do well. I will do my part - bumping up to a 9 for now.

Wonderful warm shot. Beautifully composed and edited. Back to bump you up to 9.
