This is what I think of when I think of toddler boys! Everything about this is a classic. The dirty face, and being only half dressed is perfect. I am going to ignore the little bit of softness, as we all have problems, and really it isn't that bad. Donkeyoatey

Comment from artbyrami
well, not sure I want a bite :)

I can see the young cute boy having a curiosity experiment

he seems very serious perhaps he sensed something tha he wants to validate it with others

How generous of Castor to share his dirt with you! He looks like he was been enjoying it immensely from the amount on his face. Very nice capture with great color, light, focus and composition. ~RR

Comment from Robin Gillow
Very cute and rather yukky...I had kid offer me some previously sucked sweets once LOL This is really nice! What a lovely shot? Great colour, general view-ability and cropping. Cannot complain about the focusing either. A really pleasing picture to view and one I?ll remember for a long time. Robin

You are welcome. Robin

Comment from Wendor
What a cutie! He seems so innocent as he is trying to offer the taste of the dirt. He has an adorable look on his face. He and the bucket of dirt really stand out nicely against the dark background. This is wonderful!

Comment from xennia
My favorite for this contest, such a cute natural scene, he really thought he offered you something precious, I can't understand what kids see in dirt that made them try it:) I wasn't different at all, so I've been told. Best wishes.

Thank you so much Xennia. I wasn't different either. I think 98% of kids try to eat dirt, 100% of the kids I know.
