He captioned the sweet photo: "Kiss for Daddy."

Someone else said: "This is perfect representation of what a beautiful relationship between a Dad and his Daughter! If you see this as weird and wrong then my only answer is you must of never been kissed and loved as a child. Love is free and you should spoil your child everyday with love.

Another commented: "My daughter is 11 and still blesses my husband and myself with her sweet innocent kisses nothing wrong with this, especially if your daughter is five!!! Treasure her unconditional love from a daughter to father with every kiss given!"

A fourth person added: " So beautiful. My daughter's daddy kisses her all the time. It's called showing affection and love clearly something that a lot of you have CLEARLY never been shown."

"There is nothing more real than the love between parent and child. Beautiful picture," said another.

We think the photo is beautiful!
