I took my son Danial to the park nearby our house in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia in the morning with my camera along. I was playing 'hide and seek' with him while trying to shoot at the best angle. He actually likes to be photographed, perhaps he knows that his father is so fond of taking pictures, especially of him and his mother. I like this shot because of the spontaneity, and its frame which was made by a stone bench at the park. Photo taken by Mat Zain Abdullah (Malaysia) - People/Family/Friends
