Dimples and Dirt
This is Matthew again with his devoted parents. Taken after a fun-filled day at the park.

20.3mm,1/400,f/4.0,ISO 100 Caught Dad in a half blink so the shot was no good for a family portrait but Matthew was smiling so sweetly that I couldn't scrap it altogether. Converted to b&w, made a blurred layer, pasted it on top, erased over Matthew to make him sharp, and cloned some distracting white blotches out of the background. I like how it came out. You get the feeling that Matthew shines because he's flanked by loving support.
