Interesting, I hadn't thought of this photograph as weird, I suppose my emotional attachment to the subjects has something to due with that. The baby is my son and the woman is my wife Cat, who is looking through the gate on our deck (a hinge is visible in the lower left corner).(posted 8309 days ago)When I first looked at this photograph I liked it: our cute baby in focus and my smiling wife out of focus in the background. After viewing it repeatedly I realized you can't tell for sure if the woman is smiling or grimacing, because she is so out of focus, I knew she was smiling at the time because I was there and I was applying that memory to the photograph the first few times I viewed it.
Thanks for the feedback Edward!
I'm trying to think a bit more objectively about Jack's expression, but it may take a few days...
