My concern, as those of us on this list have discussed a lot of late, is that it is a damn shame that if you were to post that picture somewhere, I can guarantee you that there would be some zealots that would crucify you. Hey, I think that sucks. But, in the light of other discussions we've had about kids and photos lately, I thought this was a perfect example of a great shot, that, unfortunately could be turned into a negative by those who think their agenda is the right one. (er...no pun intended...) PS -- I think I like the warmer one of the two. -Holly
