I was catching up on a couple of websites over lunch and I saw that Dave Mason had updated his Photo A Week page. The recent ones are nice, but it is still hard to go past the two fantastic photos of young children (maybe it's the same child) in this collection:
- "Newphew's new hat" is appealing because of the facial expression;
- My favourite, however, is "First base". The photo is taken a moment before the subject has realised that things have gone awry (look at where the eyes are focussing, for example). How often did this happen to me in school sports? Both subjects in the photo (child and ball) are in focus and the background is plain enough that nothing is lost by it being beyond the focal region.
