691st Show & Tell Competition: Capturing the Moment

[ddecroix]

Hi All,

it is surely a stereotype, but for me photography is all about snapping a split second and freeze it in time.

I hope it will inspire a few of you.
I wish you and your families to spend some great quality time during this festive season.

All the best!
Dave
