Santa redux

Trying to find one of my photos that does justice to this Santa, and doesn’t make him look all worn out. Maybe my iPhone camera isn’t good enough to distinguish the rims of his glasses, making him look like his eyes are shut.
@farmreporter @30pics4jackiesdiamond Wendy and Jackie, what do you think? Is this photo any better?

( tongue in cheek!)looks like he's about to catch a tray off the csfe

I think I prefer your first one. Like Jackie says - it looks like he is about to catch a tray!! lol!
I find that it is better to take a whole lot of shots in situations like this and then there will be one with a good expression. Memory on devices is cheap - and then there is delete for the rest!!

Or - I just noticed that you could have gone around the front and asked Santa to pose for you when there was a bit of a lull in the line-up.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Ha ha ha — He does! “Next! ... Sorry, kid, the tray was here first.”

@farmreporter Thanks. See my reply to Jackie. Haha.

@farmreporter PS no lull in THAT lineup! Plus, I’m a bit shy about asking — and was trying to be unobtrusive so people wouldn’t think I was trying to photograph their kids. I do need to practice asking strangers, though.

Great candid shot

I like the photo. He looks like he is warmly inviting the next child up and it looks busy like those always are. And the tray slide makes a leading line right to him. Also I can see the glasses.

You know, he's probably been really busy and is worn out. He's a friendly sort with a nice smile.
