A frozen moment caught in the right time! Look at this sharpness. It is incredible! You can see each tiny drop. Technically it is really well executed and of corse also a lovely scene!

Photographers Comment

I am Kevin Van Sant, a professional jazz guitarist in North Carolina. I've enjoyed taking pictures for a long time but it wasn't until this guy was born that it became a serious hobby. Now I'm his personal paparazzi. It's a bit like what I imagine wildlife photography to be trying to capture a good picture of an always in motion toddler, but I can always tell instantly when I've gotten a good one. I carry around a Sony a6000 mostly with one of several 50+ yr old Russian lenses I own (manual focus only). However this picture was actually taken with my S7 Samsung phone. It excels in outdoor settings and is also waterproof which allowed me to get up close (and wet) for this shot at my son's favorite local fountain. This was my first entry into a photo contest so I've honored and encouraged to have this picture recognized. Thanks!
