Thanks. Yup, in a perfect world, the faucet wouldn't have been there. With candids, I always, always take the first shot regardless, because this moment really is unrepeatable. After I shot this image, I took a step to the right to eliminate the faucet, but by then the moment was fading, and the bush to camera left became too dominant. I never sacrifice the moment to a technicality. However, had I posed this shot, yes, I definitely would've composed to miss both the bush and the faucet.
Cool shot! You can tell the boy on the left is the boss - he's outmuscling the others. The tap can be removed in Photoshop Call me sometime and I'll tell ya how.
