April 23rd Smile

My Great Nephew Wes who was 18 last week. Such a lovely young man just about to take his A levels and hopefully go to Sussex Uni. He is very shy and hates having his photo taken - he was laughing as I kept saying how gorgeous he is especially with his Buddy Holly glasses!! He lives in Westward Ho! and I don't get to see him often enough!! This fits perfectly the Topic - smile!! 113/365

This is a gorgeous shot. He looks very similar to my step-son; we had a shot of him printed onto a glass block for his nan, and it looked great!
