thanks for the kind comment ... in response to your question, no ... the shot is meant to be a distance shot, not a close up

Rick.. this is a stunning photo which really captures the concept beautifully..
i love how the littlest of the children turned to look at you as you took the picture.. it may have been unintentional.. but it seems to add another layer of depth to the photograph. each of their actions say something about them .. the eldest [i'm assuming] balancing precariously on the tracks.. the middle child almost as though he is marching forward.. and like i said the little one looking at you..

i think learning to let go of your children gracefully is one of the most important things in bringing up a child.. [speaking from the other side of the spectrum at any rate]

i think this is one of your best photos..

wow!

i'm very humbled by your comment, because you literally detailed what
i was going for with this photo ... i never asked my youngest to turn, but
when he did, i thought ... 'perfect' - you have a gift for breaking things down ...

thank you ... :heart:

Yes, letting go is very hard. It was hard for me when my daughter and I were separated by divorce and I moved so far and then got harder when she moved out of state just last year. I think it's easier to let go of the boys though :giggle: I guess because I always think a man can take care of himself so much better than a woman. Plus I guess I'm just closer to my daughter.

Great photo Rick, nice seeing all the kiddies and the tone is great!
