Can't say this was my favorite but I got a kick out of it. It was a quick grab shot, outdoors at the local market, a huge crop, and yielded detail in spite of that and the resulting noise. It tells a story, at least, to me, about how little tykes can make strange when a camera is pointed at them. That's Mom's hand as she is chatting with me, so that was not an issue.
There's also an abstract factor in this b&w candid portrait that, IMHO, adds additional mood.
