Wonderful color setting with cute, natural posture of your son, he makes a rainy day happy!

Love it! It's just so bizarre that he holds the umbrella when playing in the rain with water :) Love also the lucky coincidence that he wears all blue clothes and boots. Great and warm picture with even though the bad and cold weather!

I'm sorry it rained all day, but look what a lovely photo you got out of it! This is so precious!

Kids have a way of getting it all in perspective, eh? Great shot, nicely composed and spontaneous. Good work!

Awww this pic is fantastic! What a great time he was having with his little makeshift shovel and an umbrella in the rain. That is pure perfection! lol I hope I remember this picture the next time my grandkids ask to go out in the rain. I'll hand em an umbrella and say have at it!

Sorry for not replying to each of you.. but you're right, kids really put things in perspective and sometimes they are the only bright spots in gloomy days. This photo has it's share of technical flaws but I thought it tells the story.. which is why I take them :-)

Oh, and thanks a lot.. all of you!
