32. Big and Small
I watched this mama and baby for some time….this little boy is 6 months old and is already driving his mom nuts! She kept trying to grab him and he kept dodging her…look at that face “Come and get me”….a typical toddler! This was perhaps my favorite time of the day, I think I sat and watched these two for over an half hour! Pure enjoyment!
Camera: Canon XSI, Shot in Manual mode, Lens: 55-250mm, Focal Length: 250mm, Aperture F/5.6, Shutter Speed 1/60, ISO 400 Processed in PSE8: Adjusted levels, increased saturation, cropped
Great capture Tammy. Love the face on the little one. Fantastic depth and composition.

This must have been fun just to watch the interaction! I love the picture and the thoughts that you can almost see go between them. Your clarity is amazing! Wonderful.

Hi Tammy,
I can just see that baby jumping around teasing mama to come and get him. Great shot! Love the jellyfish too. Very pretty colors! Have a great day!

Are you sure she doesn’t have twin boys who play soccer and just got their licences? She has that look in her eyes. You know -there is a tether there and she has reached the end of it.

LOL that’s probably why I enjoyed these guys so much, it reminded me of ME!! She can’t handle the one, think if she had TWO 🙂

What a wonderful capture! I love the expressions, the composition, their colors against the background. Terrific!

I like the look on the mom’s face the best. She looks like she has really lost her patience. A wonderful shot. The details are fabulous.

Tammy! It has all been said. Go do other things in my life, come back and I’m johnny come lately! lol
Between the two of them, Mama shows her exasperation more than Jr shows his being feisty! Great capture! Just exactly what are these two creatures?

Thanks for the comments as always! These cuties are spider monkeys (which live in the rain forest).

This is so fine! You really should see into cards or something at the zoo, your shots from there are outstanding.

Oh, this made me laugh! I KNOW the way she’s feeling! This is a picture that just sums up the whole story.

The expressions on their faces are priceless. Well worth the patience to capture this moment!

Such a great shot! I love the interplay between the two of them, the framing is just perfect, and the fact that both sets of eyes are perfectly sharp but the background is soft makes this image a complete winner in my book.

Charming shot of mommy and baby. I don’t know how you managed to choose just one!

What a lovely portrait, Tammy! The detail and emotion of the shot are standouts for me. Great work.
