I think the batman shot is fantastic. Great capture, and using the falsh to freeze the motion, whilst blurring the background.

Great natural captures in all of them!

Keep taking lots of photos of your little fella, they will be treasured for years when he is all "growed" up.

Great work there Rooz. I love looking at the photos that you take of your son. They really to capture the moment and should really be printed out and pasted into albums for lasting memories. PS. sorry to hear about the zeiss

There's something special about Zeiss lenses. The images are beautiful.

I like all the photographs, but the first because
it seems there is a bit of distortion affecting
the face of your subject, as if taken with a wide
angle lens.
I don't mind the distortion in the picture with the
big hand because it is obvious. It gives a sense of
the proportion of the child, as seen by the adult
taking the photograph. This technique involves the
viewer in an active role.
I love the motion in the batman pic and the frozen
moment in the race of all races. That hair in
the wind suggest speed and movement and
that angelic expression makes your picture. I
suggest next time you take similar type of picture
you frame it so your subject enters the frame.
