Tackled by Christmas Tree

robbo · 10-12-2007, 02:38

The family went out to cut down the Christmas tree this weekend. This is the first year that I handed the saw and entire process over to my two sons, 12 and 9 yrs old. The eldest was hpolding up the tree for the last bit of cutting and couldn't keep it standing. The tree literally burried him! This is the result of his snow covered face. The shot was actually done my wife. I think the best part of it is that he usually hates having his picture taken. Many laughs!

You've gotta give them an A for effort though!

Being the top notch parents we are, we left him under the tree for a good 5 minutes while we took pictures and snow fell through the branches on his face.

Oh they got an A! What you can't see is the 9yr old who then hauled the tree 1/4 mile up hill in snow. Mind you, this is by choice. His brother helped a little, but he insisted to go it alone.

Haha great story and actually a great shot, nice lighting and handling of exposure, and spot-on focus! Well done wife of Robbo!
