Suzi's son Dashiell and C pass a box back and forth the other day at our house. Neither of them minded when the other took the box. There was, however, no offering of the box.
Photography-wise, the background is a mess. I decided I didn't mind for a couple of reasons.
1 - The "my kid!" factor. In other words, it's my kid and why would I mind a little messy background when it's such a cute shot!
2 - The snapshot factor. Yep, it's a snapshot. A quick take of a cute moment before it went away forever.
Things that I like about the picture are the subject (it's my kid!), the 2 round, mostly bald heads, the intent expressions on their faces, and the moment of giving/taking the box. I also like that the photo was taken almost from their level. And finally, the background is good for showing the regular mess that happens with 2 active babies.
How could I have improved the shot? I could have gotten right down with them, maybe even looking up at them from near the floor, though the windows would have produced lens flare. I could have opened up the aperture so the background went blurry.
It's always easier to consider what to do after the fact - but it's fun to keep learning from my own examples.
Next up: Ask Suzi if we can go into the studio again with the 2 babies!
