    It was on the Kodak screen in Times Sqaure on July 4th, so I guess it is a good representative for both dates. This was taken with a Kodak DC4800, no cropping. Outside available light. I played around with levels to produce the I hate to say it "doll-like" effect. My son will get me in the future with that one! LOL

Beautiful Shelley... you must be so proud. I saw this portrait on Kodak's website the other day and loved it. I too have a DC 4800 and was on the website looking for troubleshooting info, I'm having focus problems with mine. Congratulations on a GREAT picture and darling little boy!

This is so beautiful. I have no words for what it makes me feel. This is truly moving.

This was in the monthly contest for digital art on DPC. I know that, because I voted against my own image, "Justin on Guitar" in the same category. I couldn't help myself, I really thought yours was the better image.

Thanks to you all. Big thanks for your vote Rick! America, I still have focusing problems with my Canon as I did with my Kodak DC4800. I am no expert, but my suggestion, from my personal experience, is subject still, still, still and the more light the better! Try not to full zoom either. Until we get those beautiful digital SLR's we have to work a little harder to please our cameras!

This is one of the most emotional images I have ever seen. Two year have gone by since that god awful day, and this photo still touches hearts all over this country. The photo should be part of any memorial created in recognition of the day any the people we lost.

This picture is awesome. It is so beautiful. How did you achieve the "doll-like" effect? I am trying to get that same look on one of my daughters photos. Thanks.
