Marilyn, thanks very much for your enocuragement and congratulations. #3778449

Stacey A. Quattlebaum 1/16/2007 10:50:16 AM

WOW! Perfect close-up. How did you get the eyes to look so shiny and clear? What program/effect could I use to acheive this? #3826868

Janine Russell 1/16/2007 11:37:33 AM

Stacey, thanks very much for your kind comments and encouragement; I use Photoshop CS for my postprocessing; If you don't want to spend as much, Photoshop Elements is a pared-down version and fairly inexpensive for what you get. The first key is to focus on the eyes when taking the photograph. Then in post-processing of this image, I used the shadow/highlight tool, which helped lighten up the dark parts of the image. I also adjusted the brightness and contrast. I then resized and sharpened using unsharp mask and Photokit Sharpener (which allows for selective sharpening) and then USM once more if needed.

Here's the link for Photokit Sharpener for more information

Karolyn J. Seeley 2/16/2007 7:42:28 PM

Janine.....Doubt you need yet another comment on this special capture, but I just love it! He is adorable and you really grabbed the moment. I want to do more with my own grandkids, it's rare I get a really nice one of them...they wiggle and move so, so fast, but I will keep trying have only a few posted on my gallery of them.... #3956637

Janine Russell 2/16/2007 8:01:36 PM

Karolyn, thanks so much for your encouragement and kind comments; I know what you mean about grandchildren moving fast - they are a challenge to capture. #3956685
