They do grow up fast, but what a great shot. I'm sure you'll treasure this for years to come.

Not only a brilliant composition, but a great family album keeper, too.

And climbing without a net or harness. Good timing on the shot.

Super capture and composition. This is a keeper for sure. You should have it made into a poster for his room!

This is adorable!! I'd 'hang' this one on your wall. (I couldn't resist the pun) Seriously this is a fantastic image. Well done. :)

Very strong image, graphical, with great colors. I love the fact he is bare footed.

this put a big smile on my face lisa .. reminds me of when i took ali to those climbing places .. usually with her friends .. he must be very athletic, he doesnt even have a safety rope ..!!! lol ... loving the lighting and the colours and his intense concentrated expression .. those toes are to die for .. !!! .. :)
re the 100mm .. dont you find that often you're just too close to your subject and you cant get back ?? .. when the tamron was being fixed i only had the 100mm .. & when its all you have you just have to make allowances for the closeness .. after reading that yours just about lives on your camera i'm thinking next time we go to the zoo, and i'm hoping its real soon ... well i'm going to use the 100mm and see wot i get .. much better in that i've got f2.8 as well .. i got a whole heap of shots at the zoo on monday that were taken in poor light and the tamron just didnt cut it .. anyway thanks for your comment its made me re-assess .. :)

Even though you can only see his profile you can really tell he's concentrating hard. I like how this is cropped too, with more space below him than above you get the sense that he has climbed a long distance. Awesome capture!

i like the composition and your boy's curly hair. very cute. i've never seen a climbing wall like that. i don't think they have things like that in playgrounds here. everything seems to be 'unsafe' nowadays. i wonder how my generation managed to get through childhood...lol

Great pose, as he appears to be considering what to do next. He looks pretty relaxed about it; good for him! I really like the composition and colors in this.

Looks like fun. Rock walls seem to draw in the kids.

Oh, that climbing wall makes for such a delicious backdrop, Lisa. It looks like some kind of a sweet confection, with your little sweetie right in the middle of it. He has the coolest hair. :)
