Taken at Sant' Anton, Malta's Presidential Palace Gardens, this (I'm assuming) father and son were walking along a path in the gardens and I wanted to record the moment. I hope you like the end result.

As ever, thanks Nathan for your comment and your vote. 
When I see opportunities like these, the impulse to take the picture rushes through me. On this occassion, I was lucky enough to have the correct gear on me. I'll upload another father-son image at a later stage... It's another candid taken at the Malta International Airshow earlier this year. Will probably be tomorrow's upload!
@Wenzu, I think I actually recall the image you're referring to in fact. Thanks for the comment and the appreciation.
It's a good evocative image, bringing to the fore front one's sentimentality and forgotten memories, each father has at some time done this! be it with a Son or Daughter, mine are in their thirty's and forty's, but I still remember now your photo has jogged my faint old memory, nicely taken good composition with a nice lead in, regards Leon.
Thanks Jellyfire, glad you like the end result. Shot this on S-mode, with ISO restricted to 400, so camera opted for the maximum aperture possible on the lens (f/5.6). As a result, had a relatively shallow depth of field and the man and child ended up in the blurred area when composed with rule of thirds in mind. Have to admit it was a bit of a happy accident that the end-picture turned out like this. With a deeper field, I would probably end up blurring the foreground in post-processing, but the effect would be slightly unrealistic I guess.
