You Can't Make Me Smile [Contest Winner Pool December 2004 ]
Uploaded: December 29, 2004 19:05:29
My youngest Elijah while trying to get a picture of him for our Christmas card. My son Andrew was doing his best to coax a smile out of him and this is the fruit of his labor!! Taken with "studio" lights. Background color obtained from darker color in Elijah's lips.
