Ha! I'd suggest cropping this so your son is left of center and the toilet's right of center - it would feel more balanced. The center is a good place to avoid, generally.

This reminds me of a list of things you learn from 5-year-olds. There's a whole series of "if you can't find X, look in the toilet." Including keys. :)

Hee hee, gave me an instant chuckle. Fortunately, I've never had this happen. Maybe because I don't have kids :-)
It doesn't look like you took too much time to set the shot up - has a candid look (not necessarily a bad thing, especially given that the action is naturally a spontaneous one). I do think a fill flash on your son's face or directional light highlighting his features would have bumped you up a bit. I also find the gargabe can a little distracting in the front.
Overall very cute, though.

I was one of your two 10's. This cracked me up. My son actually did this to me in a public toilet! Cost me about $200 for a locksmith.

Nice comical shot and I can laugh at this because I've experienced this situation with my son. He was a little younger than that at the time.

Having a young one at home I can relate. Would have been better if he was smiling with one of those I am getting away with this looks.
