His Infectious Exuberance

He was a grateful boy today as he turned eight, my youngest and wildest child. He opened a present for which his older sister was almost as excited as he and they just moved so fast... It produced a weird image with slow shutter speed, some flash (which I usually dislike) and a whole lot of movement, but there's something I liked about it.

This image looks like it "caught" a moment out of a swirl of events. Very cool!

Cool shot! I love the movement and energy. Happy Birthday to your wildest child, he has the sweetest smile.

Very cool shot

His face is beautifully caught with a natural expression and thats what so good apart from the other great effects!

[Carla]

Definitely a lot to like about this shot. Great energy

[Taffy]

I think the color gives it a high energy feel.

[☠northy]

Cool shot! Happy birthday to your son.

A great Birthday energy vibrating here.

It's the energy of happy children!

Lots of dynamism and energy. Flash is great btw, first trick is to get it off the camera, buy one of those cords for a few quid/dollars.

Love the combination of the colours and movement to make an energy in the photograph!

Great effect I like the excitement on his face.

@snaggy I appreciate your comment, as I do realize flash can be great just not by me - I really do need the practice. I'll look into getting it off the camera!

Happy belated bday to your little one. With all that is happening in the pic, I like how his face stands out - and he's so happy!
