A sweet little face like this doesn’t require lots of photo skills to melt a Mom-Mom’s heart!Silas, an enthusiastic little boy with flushed cheeks from wearing his heavy helmet on a hot day, a slight cropping to eliminate boring background, a little lightening and slight increase of contrast. And there you have it.
Ready to bring home the Stanley Cup!

No time to relocate to more frontal natural light that might have eliminated the horizontal shadows on his face. I just wanted to capture a fleeting moment before he ran off.
Since the shadows don’t run through his eyes or mouth, I am not too concerned with them.
I think attention is drawn to his eyes, each framed by the squares in the face mask.

That’s a lot of helmet on those wee shoulders!
Know who he’s cheering for…
F L Y E R S!
of course!
What a sweet shot!
The FLYERS!! Oh no – I never was a hockey follower (we live in the land of the Sabres) but always heard of the dreaded flyers) LOL – just teaasing!!
I love the contrast in this photo of the metal grid of the mask – over his soft sweet beautiful skin! Oh to have such skin again!
And they eyes – your grandbabies have such beautiful eyes – and you do such a great job of capturing them.
I too never saw the shadows on his face – perhaps I am not observant enough – or perhaps you did a great job of capturing this little sweetie – so that our eyes are drawn right to his!
Awww, look at his darling little face in that big helmet! You're really good with photography as you know the direction of the shadow being casted. I'm slowly learning about lighting and direction to point the lens.
He's cute as can be and oh so tiny for such a big helmet.
I didn't even notice the shadows on his face until you mentioned it. I was just drawn in by those eyes. Such a cutie and what an adorable shot that is.
Oh my heavens, that is precious! His eyes are what I looked at first, they sparkle!
Thanks for sharing!

great photo, I was immediately drawn to his beautiful eyes.
Oh my goodness that first photo is so cute!
What a little sweetie-pie!
That helmet is about as big as he is…it has to be heavy!!! He's adorable!!! There's nothing in the world like GRAND children!!!
