Doorway and Green Field, Scotland
This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Photos
On a recent visit to Scotland I caught this shot of my son standing in the doorway of our house, waiting for me to come inside out of the rain. I really liked how the frame splits the subjects, and while at first he seems so removed from the natural setting you then glimpse the sky behind him through the window.
