Noting beats being adored by a grandchild! This is my older granddude, Aidan, having lunch with us today. Aidan doesn't pose often, so I just snapped what I could. Generally, I would have cropped this to focus just on his face; but there was somethig about the primary colors in the glasses and the juice carton that just seemed to belong in the photo--maybe the context, and the way they just happened to be arranged to sort of steer the eye to his smile. Dark Strokes combined with Diffuse Glow lights up his face while defining his features.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.

He's very photogenic = and I agree with you about the juice carton and the blue glass. The context really adds to the photo.
