I look so happy

This is from Saturday when we met our Grandson, Alfie for the first time.

It's not a posed for photo , it is what we refer to in photography as the "The decisive moment ".

Our daughter Claire (Alfie's Mum) got her iPhone out and just clicked and captured a special moment, Jane was giving Alfie a kiss and I was beaming like a Cheshire Cat.


FYI : The decisive moment refers to capturing an event that is spontaneous, where the image represents the essence of the event itself. I think this image qualifies as that moment :)
