As much as I love this shot for the carefree laugh on his face, I'm so cross with myself as this isn't the shot I was going to use. I stood there for half an hour taking shot after shot after shot, waiting to get the one dead-centre of the frame. I was just e-mailing it across from my phone and I accidentally pressed 'delete' not 'send'!
I actually wonder whether this is better because I like the promise of him sliding down all the way to the bottom of the frame. What do you think?
Update: hubby managed to retrieve the deleted image using specialist software, this is a far better shot anyway!
ooh how very annoying, thank fully I dont have that sort of technology.
love the reflection on the slide as well as his happy face.nice pic
I love the expression on his face! He looks like he's having so much fun :0)
I love this picture, I like that he is at the top of the slide! but then I have not seen the other one..,
That is just that kind of thing I do 🙂 but this is a fab pic, love his reflection and the orange/silver look a bit surreal x
I love this picture and the smile on his face x
i think its a great action shot and i really like the reflections you can see in the aluminium. x
The look on his face is brilliant and it actually looks like a big slide, has great effect!
well it's a gorgeous shot. I do sympathise, both about the taking a million pictures to try and get the right one, and about deleting – have done the very same thing myself today! Grrrr.
As you said love the 'potential' in this – the glee at the start of a journey. I also deleted something today (not a photo – a part of a film) – we all do it from time to time.
I think this is a great shot, love the fact he's at the top of the slide you can almost hear him say 'wheeeeee!' as he slides down!
I'm impressed you managed to get this shot: I've been trying with mine for ages but always seem to get the 'wrong end'! Utterly brilliant- love it!
What an incredible shot x
I love this shot! x
Love this shot!
We have pictures of our 3 eldest doing this that are framed & hang at the bottom of our stairs – it captures a moment of carefree childhood.
This is awesome! I just love it. One for the wall I reckon.
I think it's fab – gives a real feeling of action.
It looks a long way down from there but The Boy looks very in control of his front sliding and loving every minute
its a great shot and after all that hard work it ruddy well deserves to be your photo of the week x
How annoying! I love this capture though, it's fab 🙂 x
Great choice!
That would have made me so mad too, deleting the pic I spent ages taking. I think this one is fab though, the reflection, the colour blocks and the anticipation of him woooshing down the slide make it great.
Fab – can really just sense the sheer joy of it.
It is a lovely photo, but I have deleted a few photos by mistake on my phone so I completely understand your frustration. Sometimes it is the photos that are less 'staged' that are the best though!
i love this shot, and I hate when click delete and its the wrong one.
It's annoying when you delete photos, that's the type of thing I do! Going down a slide front ways is really the best way! lol
It's a brilliant shot. I love the look on his face 🙂
Such a good photo – how many times did he have to slide to get it?
weeeeeeeee!
