As much as I might like to say otherwise, this was nothing more than a pure luck shot. I love it because it captures the absolute and pure delight my son felt as he sledded down the hill that day. I admit that I don't know if it is my love for him that makes this my favorite all-time pic, or if it honestly conveys the innocent and pure joy of the subject.
Welcome. What a great photo! As you stated, the pure joy of the event has been well portrayed in this shot. You couldn't have gotten a better expression if you tried. Oh, to be young again rushing down a hill in a sled without a care in the world. I love the placement in the frame and even though the snow is burned out it acts as a frame to the important part of the shot. Love the ruddy cheeks, the bright red hat and blue sled. Perfect, in my book!
