It was spontaneous - a moment I always like to capture... I had Mommy L stand by a tree to shade her and Baby J from the rather harsh 1pm-light. Against those vast greens, the young mother held her son and it was such a delight to see. It was like hearing It's You And Me Against The World by Helen Reddy. Do you know the song? It's playing...
My camera bursted as I crouched down then up to frame my images well. I was trying to be comfortable with what I was doing. But then I felt a little bit rushed because they had to go back to the party. It was Baby J's 1st birthday.
I looked at my Canon LCD and said in my mind, I love this shot . . . except for that one little detail...
The composition, to me, would have been perfect except for that dang tree! It was sprouting out of Little J's back. So annoying, I hated it! Mom L did not mind though. But I said, I can fix it . . . and I did, didn't I?

Some overexposing to that part did the trick. Then, giving the photo a vintage effect was my excuse to the fading background. This old photo texture was a good find... Thanks, Temari 09, for sharing your antique paper!
