I LOVE IT!!! So charming and wonderful expression captured.

It's not too dark - IMO. The only thing is that I would change is slightly offcenter it, cropping a little on the left leaving more space in the direction he is looking.

4/29/2005 8:31:50 AM

I absolutely love this! What a great pose, expression, and sepia is a great choice, Donna!
Too dark for what? Computer viewing? I don't think so. However, it's possible it may be for printing. The only way I know to know for certain... is to try it.

4/29/2005 8:49:19 AM

I love the tones, and I don't think it is too dark either. Such a cute moment.
Since you asked, I study the image a bit and found a couple nit picky things, but please understand, I really love this photo and would have been very proud if I had taken it!!!
I would try the crop Barbara suggested, also where the light is hitting the pine needles to the right seems a bit gray and my keeps drawing my eye, you might try running a burn brush over it before converting, also in your conversion you have created a bit of a hot spot on his left foot. You can also try to run a sharpening brush with a very low opacity over his eye.

4/29/2005 8:49:48 AM

What a beautiful portrait, Donna!
Very nicely done!

4/29/2005 8:50:33 AM

4/29/2005 9:40:35 AM

Oh Donna....I don't know about those judges, either....this is one of the cutest photos I have ever seen on BP.
It doesn't seem too dark to me...just great work!! JL

4/29/2005 9:51:56 AM

Thankyou so much for the great comment's, Barbara, Carla, Stacy, Cathy, Shelly, Jessica, Colette and Judy!!!Thank's for the advice. I can crop it but I don't know how to use a burn brush or sharpening brush.

4/29/2005 3:42:14 PM

wow! I think this is it! great, fantastic, & excellent !!

4/29/2005 4:42:47 PM

I love this shot! I looked at it in color in your gallery. I prefer this version. I agree with Stacey and Barbara on the cropping and the gray area on the lower right. Fix those few things and I think you'll have a winner!!!

4/29/2005 4:48:32 PM

I know what you mean about the judges.. They over look my favorites every month.. oh well.. This is a WINNER in my book Donna.. This is the first time I've seen this so I don't have anything to compare it to.. But I love it!! The tones, the pose,, Such a sweet childhood moment captured.. Good luck with it this month!!

4/29/2005 4:54:01 PM

It's the first time I'm seeing it too, Donna, and it's a winner in my book as well (though the cropping suggested could only improve it). And I am all for reentering our favorites because you just never know...

4/29/2005 5:20:38 PM

Donna, this is a magical moment that you both will remember! It is indeed rich in colors, contents, creativity, and composition. I believe you can see we all are supportative of this little jewel!

4/29/2005 5:26:47 PM

Adorable, Donna! He has such a cute expression, love the tones and doesn't look to dark to me!

4/29/2005 5:43:45 PM

Hi Donna! Like Barbara Said A Crop Off The Left And A Smidgeon Off The Top!
Stacey Had A Great Idea Too With The Hot Spots,It Is a Great Photo And Should Do Well!I Dont Think Its To Dark Either, It Looks Great In Sepia!!

4/29/2005 6:05:21 PM

6/5/2005 9:26:51 AM

Love it, so often my favourite pictures of little boys are when they are just in overalls. I think it just is sort of "boy personified" or something. Like an outfit Penrod would wear.
