Another of my favorite candid smiles

[Jeremy Z]

I had just gotten my new scooter a couple weeks before. I managed to talk my mom into taking it for a ride around the block. I have never seen a better smile coming from her. She is so hard to photograph, because if she knows I'm thinking of taking her picture, she has a fakey smile.

No doubt: this one is a very nice photo of your mom! You could crop this just a little to bring her out more and to include fewer cars around whose dented fronts might distract the viewer, but other than that this one's just fine. You could have put it into People and Pets (not suggesting your mom's a "pet", mind you ). This one need not be in Snapshots and Bloopers, for it is not Blooper, for sure. But if you consider this to be just a snapshot ... ok.
