    Candids just for fun. Image heavy.

    My wife and I bought a Hot Wheels table road set for my grandson who is just 20 months old.
    This morning was the first time he played with it. Just candid shots with flash bounced of ceiling but I just had to show them off. It's a grandfather thing.


    This is first time he see it as he runs up to the road table.

    Every single one of them is just precious, Dave. Very well done!

    Consider cropping the fourth one on the left just enough to eliminate the black thing. Perhaps (but less importantly) also on the top to eliminate the white thing. Last, also check the white balance in that image, as the boy's skin tone and hair color seem quite a bit different from the other images. All these recommendations made only because it's such a nice image that trying to take it to the next level will surely be worth the effort.

    Thanks Mike, I will make those changes. All good points.

    You captured his intense delight so well. Wondering who had more fun, you or him ;-) The box shot is absolutely wonderful!

    Grand-kids are treasures and your pictures shows a delightful little boy and his excitement with his new gift! These are memory keepers! I can't pick a favorite one, they are all special and well done!
