Eleanor's comments are well-founded. She is absolutely right that a parent's natural reaction is to aid the child, and had she been the only adult present, she would have, as I would have, attended the crisis. As it was, the crisis was apparently under control, and in the event, she did what I would have done, and aimed a camera. Completely agree with the sentiments you express, Eleanor. Well done. It really is a cracking shot.
