Flyin' Kai
My first grandchild Kai enjoying a day at the pool.
Shot with Canon PowerShot SD879 IS
Cropped to eliminate dads arms and background clutter.
Photoshopped to add contrast and slightly saturate colors.
Flyin' Kai belongs to the following groups:

What did I post just before??? That was ment for a picture I uploaded. Any way, I love this shot!! I always find it very difficult to photograph children, there too spontanious (and that’s what we need), but you did a great, natural job with this! Congratz!
LoveMy7Cs replied
Thanks Bart!!
Really appreciate the great comment!
(And deleted the other :)
Hank Rodriguez
Um…Time for a diaper change, perhaps??? I didn’t read the novel ahead of me..Maybe it will explain the scenario.
Which number is this? Or have you lost track?
Cute kid…Again, good thing he looks like mama?
Great idea, but how many times was he dropped before you got the shot?
See you later fellow Simian. Ook Ook! You want a banana?
LoveMy7Cs replied
LOL
He is actually #8. My first grandchild. (His name Kia, means sea in Hawaiian.
(Totally coincidental!)
And yep, looks like his mama’s side!
Only dropped a coupla times…
and LOL again, I just had a banana!

Lenny La Rue, IPA
This is so flippin’ FUNNY I almost spit up my precious 151 rum and Pepsi. I’d have had to sue you and that would have been funnier on Judge Judy’s TV show. This shot is the capture of a lifetime and I’d encourage you to put it in the group kairos
LoveMy7Cs replied
You have excellent taste! Pepsi is WAY better.
And I just joined kairos.
Thank you so much!

Taylor Sawyer
Hi there! I accepted this photo into the group Photography 101, however it lacks the type of description we would like. Please adhere to the following guidelines so that your photo can be of help to other members! Thanks!!
Artwork should contain a description (which ties in with the physics and emotion behind taking pictures mentioned above). At the absolute minimum, the camera, lens, and settings should be included, but more of a description as to how the shot came about would be very useful too.
LoveMy7Cs replied
Thanks Taylor,
I’ll work on a write up.
Taylor Sawyer
Thank you! ;-)
