This shot is taken by my 7 yr old son with my set up. I held his hand and guided him (kind of heavy for his small hands) while he held the camera himself and press the shutter. I held the 2nd flash for him. Of course, I did the postprocessing. but the image got the eye just a little bit.

I would say not bad, considering the number of lousy shots I had taken of this fella. His shot out of 2 came out quite ok actually.

Must let him try more next time....probably after his exams....
