Description


resubmit, people category, October 2007
To me, this image is perfect the way it is, so I am resubmitting it in the contest as is. All that was done to this image was a conversion to black and white, a slight bump in curves, crop and then sharpen for web. Please let me know if there is something else that needs to be done to improve this image.

Thanks so much Trula and Cherylann!

Yes, he is getting so big already. It goes by too fast sometimes. He will be 4 months next week. He does have the best poses and expressions. Thanks for looking! :) #4815878
