I've learned that the very best photographs of children happen when you allow them to play, and follow them with your camera. This little guy was climbing all over the playground equipment, so I crawled beneath him and shot up. I'm amazed that I caught both the smattering of freckles across his nose and the gleam in his eyes, despite the fact that he was backlit and I wasn't using a flash.
Shot with Nikon D200 + 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Nikkor lens; 1/640s at f/5.0 & ISO 200.
