Image of the Day: little fingers and car

This photo, by flickr user meg29st, is a great example of how wonderful close-ups of kids are. I love photos that so completely capture a moment like this one does. Even though we can't see the boy's face, I can imagine it: he's probably got his lips pressed together so he can make a humming car noise, while looking intently at the wheels on the car as they move thorough the sand.

Next time a child in your life is doing something with their hands (think creating art, reading a book, tying a shoe, holding tightly to a favorite teddy bear) see if you can sneak in a close up of their hands.

If you'd like your own picture featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr Pool - We'll select an image every day to highlight. Remember: we're on the lookout for shots with interesting backgrounds, cool angles, or original composition. Be sure to read the intro on the main Flickr page for more information and limit your uploading to 5 photos per day.
