The patient, caring father; how nice is that? And captured and communicated in an excellent manner as well.

Was this the 100-400 lens ?

Bjørn, Jacov, Elsa, Erik, thank you.

Bjørn, the lens was the Fuji 100-400 on the X-T2.  It was at 400mm, f5.6, 1/280 sec, ISO 400.  The camera was handheld, braced against the window frame.

I did crop in quite a bit.  Here is an uncropped original of the first for comparison.  On the whole, I think the lens and camera did well in the circumstances.

Wow, very nice indeed.

I must say i like the uncropped version (the last one) even more than the cropped version (first one). Even though that one emphasizes the dad/child relationship a bit more.
