I sat down the hill a bit and got low, glad I did, otherwise the bubble would have obscured them.
Thanks man. He prefers the full shot himself, I just preferred the crop from a technical point.
Yeah, this is why I want to progress to a dslr. This bridge camera struggles with focus, especially in busy scenes.
I did learn how difficult it is to get photos of kids when there is a lot going on haha. With it being my best friend's kids, it was a really good day in general because the kids are fantastic and are very relaxed around me because they see me as part of the family.Great capture Ben. Expression is fab
Nice to hear what the parents liked, as like you I would be thinking a less cluttered background would be better. When the parents don't even notice the other stuff we get hung up about. I find that it is a fun sucker with learning photography we get to serious about it all and loose the ability to just take photos and enjoy them.

Took a lot of photos for my best friend of his kids on a day out and this one stood out.

My suggested crop
Very cool, that really works, apart from the removal of the sticks on the bubble rope. I may crop it again with the sticks and ropes cut out completely.
I think single point focus would have really helped in this situation, but then I may have missed this shot because the focus was too quick!
Haha, it was the face detect that slowed this down when focusing, there were too many faces for the camera to choose from to begin with.correct me if i am wrong but dont some makes of dslr have up to ...umpteen?...focus points...all looking for faces...
dont worry about any sharpness crits here..your shot isnt for the front cover of life...but part of your life..and a great memory
cheers
philosophical taker of out of focus photographs
