How soft this is. I love it. It is truly a beauty. I love the emotion it creates and the story. I would love for you to enter it in my challenge called Emotional Body Language. It is open to people and to animals so a wide diversity. I am looking for photos that create emotion, that have emotion, that have a story, that has great body language etc.... I was told though that those who have entered that they were only able to find it through my profile. So you would have to go to my profile to challenges to created. should be the only challenge there.

Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo at home.Time
I was early afternoon. My kids were playing at home waiting for dinner.Lighting
This was natural light only. Light was coming from the window next to the table and through a curtain. The curtain made it softer. The shiny table reflected the light and lighten nicely the shadowed side of his face.Equipment
I used a sony A77 and Sony 35mm 1.8 lens, no other equipment was used.Inspiration
I saw my son playing and that wonderful light coming from the window and I knew I needed to photograph that scene. It was rather spontaneous. I love it because I when I look at it I feel like I can take a little step into my sons little world of dreams and imagination.Editing
I did some post processing. I wanted to enhance the feeling of that glorious light something from the window so I basically lighten up the right side of the photo and darkened down the left side. To make the reflection more visible I added some clarity there. I also sharpened the important parts of the scene such as the eyes and the cars.In my camera bag
I usually have my Sony A7 and three lenses: Zeiss Sonnar 135mm 1.8, Samyang 85mm 1.4 and Sony 50mm 1.4. I usually carry some things for the kids as well: some extra clothes, something to drink for them, sometimes even small toys.Feedback
Just watch your kids playing and let them be themselves. This way you will be able to photograph real life scenes. Look for the best light at home. Usually somewhere by the window. Also pay attention to reflections. Shiny surfaces such as the table or shiny floor can help you lighten the face equally.
