I love this as it is but wonder if you had captured the left foot to his toes if it would have been fabulous.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the Town of Irmo, SC City Park

Time

I took this around 7pm

Lighting

It turned out to be a very cloudy day but the sun would pop out for small moments and result in gorgeous lighting.

Equipment

Nikon D7000 50mm f/1.8 ISO 400 SS 1/320

Inspiration

My nephew is very protective of his little sister and would comment on how she was "his" baby. I sat them on the bench to get a picture of the two of them and he just naturally put his arm around her.

Editing

I did add a bit of light to make it more focused on them and darkened the sides to make them more the focal point. I upped the contrast, made it B&W add a bit of haze to it and probably some more edits.

In my camera bag

Nikon D7000, 50mm, 18-200, remote, extra batteries, and a squeaky toy (great for getting animals and kid's attention! =) )

Feedback

Don't be afraid to shoot on a cloudy day. I love the golden hour but even when its cloudy, you can still get some amazing shots.
