favorite friday: image of the day

this is my pick today because...

• awww...those big brown eyes, who can resist?
• this is one of my many nephews, and for those of you who know him, it was taken a while back, remember that baby face?
• i took this shot soon after i got a new lens & was dying to capture close-ups with shallow depth of field...this one turned out well & really inspired me to keep going
  

*this image was shot @ f2.0, 1/800, iso 100 with a 50mm 1.4 lens
