On our way back down to the port, I turned to look upward and was immediately greeted by this boy with his smile. I would never have captured this one if I hadn't been using my Sigma 18-200mm zoom (28-300 in 35mm format). I had using the wide end of the zoom almost all day for architectural shots, as in the previous ones of this series. A quick twist of the lens barrel and I had it!

@Mandy: I was really happy to get this one, Mandy. After walking round the hills for a number of hours, mostly photographing buildings, this was such a nice thing to happen without me even looking for it.
what a great capture, like the expressions and the perfect capture of light...
