    I love this one!! Wonderful use of empty space, really draws your attention to the family. Looks like they’re in their own little world and for them, it probably felt like it! ;-)

  • Thanks for your comments. It was especially poignant since this was the fist time this sailor had seen his new son – thus the somewhat befuddled look he is getting from the baby.
