these are so lovely Paige! reminds me I never emailed you that one raw file too.. lol fail. beautiful "snapshots".
 
They're all great, but I especially love the first one and the ladybug one.
 
Thanks guys :) you made my day with all the nice comments
 
My analysis of shot #1:

This photograph has excellent balance; in the subject vs. windows, the colors of the drive vs. the wall, the reflections of plants in the glass vs. the plants in the planter, and the geometric pattern of the boy's shorts vs. the frames of the windows.

The little boy's pose and expression are evocative of human interest, and the boy's clothing is typical "catch as catch can" outfits that little ones prefer. The fact that he is simply standing there in apparent deep thought creates a tension between being fully engaged in thought vs. anticipation of the moment he breaks away in a dead run to wherever it takes him.

The play of light and shadow emphasizes the leading lines of the edging strip and window frames by making opposing lines on the wall, including, oddly, a rectangular patch of light that very nearly lines up with the frame of the window. The light is highlighting the subject, but keeping most of the wall in shade.

I don't know how you make a better candid photograph of a three-year-old.
 
Paige, you're giving "snaps" a really good reputation. Each image pulls me in. Well done.
