Thumb: Was this greg? Maybe, but it uses the corners *too* well ;o)
WOW Greg, yes, this is my pick of this week's bunch and probably the
one of your images I've liked the best. it's not quite as cleverly
designed, from the viewpoint of the geometrical shapes, as some of
your other work but the child fits in so perfectly. On the full
scale shot I see your trademark of not quite hitting the corners, but
thinking about it, I actually like those 20-ish pixels to the right of
the boy/girl's shoulder. Chocolate? I hopw that's what it is and not
what vervets like to dine on. Something is always left to question:
I'm not convinced the chocolate is needed.

Fantastic pic though.

I didn't get a copy of your review in my email but when I saw a response to it, I found the review in the yahoo archive.

Thanks for the comments Bob. I like the photo but I wasn't sure if anyone else would. The subject is my son. We were swimming at the in-law's and he had just finished a bowl of chocolate ice cream (no vervet food). He was cold so he pulled the cover off an upholstered garden chair and wrapped it around himself. I noticed how the hat, laying on another chair, matched the mesh of the chair my son was sitting on and I thought the light would look good filtering through the hat. So I put it on him and asked him to look down. The pattern repetitions and overall composition was pretty much luck other than my cropping. I was really just trying to capture the light.
