First, happy 2012 to everyone! It's been another fantastic year spent with you, your incredible photos, and kind words. I look forward to more of the same in the coming year!
This is my submission to City Daily Photo's Photo of the Year where one chooses their best photo from the outgoing year. I chose this photo with your help as it is one of the photos that received the most comments from you. It was taken in Paris in 2011. There's some great tension between the child and the man!

Oh yes a lovely shot. One that makes us want to write a story. Love the light and shadows and compostion. Happy New Year!
Start of another year; I think the young one is in the process of 'throwing a strop'.
indeed, an image with a special tension...
well, I'm still sleepy, but I'm preparing to go to church, in the first day of the new year...
and I'm whishing you to have a great year, full of joy and happiness
please take care of you
kisses
Fantastic shot, it´s a great choice to this theme day. Happy New Year!
An remarkable & captivating picture. Happy New Year 2012
I agree about the tension - the lad is about to explode at the man's mantel of aloofness. But also like the touch of pink in the bicycle, and the neat way it has been parked at the curb.
May I wish you good things for the year ahead, Like health. Like laughter. And people to share joy with.
I remember this one and it is a fitting choice. Happy New Year!
Perfect choice for today T. The light in the back and foreground looks so good in the B&W image. Would love to know the story!
Hello! I wish you and your family a Happy New Year!
So glad you chose this one! So many scenarios run through my head from this shot. Wishing you much joy and laughter in 2012! Happy New Year!
The best wishes for you too in 2012. Hope to see lots of beautiful photos.
The bicycle is clearly the childs main focus! A worthy Number 1... Best Wishes for 2012!
Great choice T. Wonderful! Have an excellent 2012!
Happy new year to you and yours, I remember this, a very nice shot, that has something extra beyond the visible.
It is a wonderful "story" photograph, even if we must guess at what the story is . . .
All the best in 2012, T. I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful shots.
I remember this photo and I love it! Best wishes for 2012, T.
yep, that truly is a great one!
happy new year :)
Every photo has its own story, sometimes serveral depending how people see it. That is what's so great about photography. But for once, I am without a story on this one. Pretty neat.
I remember when you first posted this... excellent choice for Photo of the Year!
A photo with a dear little child, in black and white.
I LOVE IT. I remember your little boy in Paris, didn't he wear red shoes? Anyway, this is a delightful photo to see on the first day of January. Wishing you a great new year,
Janie
Perfect choice for theme day. It is one of my favorites. Happy New Year T!
This looks like something one would find in an art gallery...certainly something is going on...maybe the parents are separated the child's mother is inside the church and the child has just said,
"Come to church with me, Daddy!"
It's a very poignant offering for theme day.
Our very best to you and yours for a superb New Year, filled with good things and lots of photos!
I've just felt in love with your pics and blog :)
Happy 2012!
Ce.
happy new year for you and yours
You are definitely the Queen of black and white. The depth of field in this photo is fantastic. Is that a hint of pink I see on the bike?
i remember this photo (which means it's good :)) good luck and happy new year
I would have chosen this one too, it's got everything. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
Lovely shot ... and a good choice.
Hi T. So much great images in this blog since the beginning... Each one is a poem! Thank you to share! And a beautiful 2012 to you!
I love this photo, looking forward to more next year! I never thought to look back on the year and pick my favorite, interesting retrospective.
An awesome photograph indeed...
Happy New Year, and all the best for 2012!!!

It is a brilliant photo.
I do remember this lovely image!
Have a wonderful 2012!
Difficult not to remember this moment.
Being a father on my own, know that kids can be a challenge; the feeling however to have overcome it, and taught them to ride a bike, so much worth.
A safe road ahead and a great new year for you all as well.
That's a powerful picture. The setting is quiet and beautiful, but the child looks like s/he (I can't tell) is accusing the man of some terrible deed.
I love the desert - hope to see more of it from you soon. I'll be posting some arid pictures in about a week and a half.
pretty cool shot here.. a happy new year to you! :)
This is a wonderful choice.. been awhile sense I have been to visit with you.. don't blog much anymore.. so I have missed a lot of your work.. hope you had a lovely Christmas..and that this new year will bring in much peace and happiness.. soft hugs ~Hope
I'm agree: it's a great shot, and I loved it when you published it months ago.
All my best wishes for 2012!!
Que imagen tan hermosa. El juego de un pequeño, con la mirada de un mayor...
Saludos y un abrazo.
Cool capture, sort of tells a story! Nice.
Wow, this is a wonderful choice for your best of 2011 and you had so many great ones.
Happy New Year to you.
You really get the best b&w shots. I need some tips! :)
Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. And here's to a 2012 filled with joy, love and success!
Great choice! This is an outstanding photo!
Great shot ! As you wrote there is an interesting tension between them , positive or negative ? Love also the perspective in the photo,
well done !
Such a wonderful image! Love the difference in scale and size here. The child really does make the image. Terrific! And - happy 2012!
I can't put my finger on the pull, but I'm certainly drawn to it, almost like a dream. I like it very much and I hope you do well in your contest. Happy 2012.
Beautiful pictures in your blog. This is a place I will return to and find inspiration.
This picture tells us a story. It reveals the emotions and relationship.
