I saw this yesterday and meant to come back to comment... it chokes me up emotionally, makes me miss my little guy very much. Enjoy Dave, and take a million awesome pics like this to be cherished forevermore.

cheers

Great moment in time captured here!

Maybe consider a tighter crop to remove the water line at the top of the image and put the boy and his reflection on the left side of the rule of thirds? This would give the image a bit more visual tension for the viewer by moving the child from the centre of the frame.

Bring your RV on over. Free electric provided for hard work. I have some work in a crawlspace that needs doing. You can get as dirty as you like.

Delightful, Dave - I like the cropped version a lot but still prefer the original which emphasizes the dimintuive nature of a little boy. Great color.
