Oh Christmas Tree
From a series I photographed while the kids decorated the tree. The hands belong to my two year old. It is the first year she was able to help with the tree. :)

  Deanna, this is a very special photo. This one could sell many times over I would imagine. Great work.

  Very well photographed Deanna!!! Sometimes the details or close ups say more that a "full view" image! Good eye!

  Dear Deanna,
I love this photo. Her little hands are so precious. I have 2 young kids 3 and 7 mo. I have been desperately trying to create something like this. Did you use photoshop and if so what version. I love photographer, but I can't seem to get anyone to tell me how things are created i.e old christmas tree. can you help. thanks so much,

  Marty - to much to get into on here but do a search on google for photoshop & selective coloring. Lots of free lessons out there.

  Deanna, Thanks so much for responding and for your help. I recently purchased Photoshop CS2 because it was the latest and greatest, so I hear. I actually haven't even had a chance to upload any pictures to it yet, You know how it is with kidos.. One other question if you don't mind, did you shoot the photo in RAW? I've heard so much about RAW and my camera is capable but I have never done it.. Thanks for your response and if you have time let me know if you used a RAW photo.. Thanks, Marty

  I don't shoot raw at this time but will probably make the switch next spring. I wouldn't use photoshop for conversion of raw files though - I would use capture1 - also called c1.
