I took this picture of my brother in law and his son. The little thing was fast asleep in his father's arms.

Very precious...but I almost prefer the hand not to be in motion, to me it distracts from the father/son embrace. Just personal preference though! :)

@Jacqui: He was patting his son to sleep. Poor thing was tired.

Conveys a lot of emotion, great shot, and the low contrast B&W really does the shot justice

great tight framing!

the hand-motion blur... did you intent ito capture it that way?

i thot it helped to convey the idea that the father was trying to soothe the son to sleep...

@Kairospix: Thanks!

Yeah, I did wanted to capture the motion of the father patting his son to sleep. I just focused on his little face and pressed the shutter - and hope for the best! Haha
