~My Boy~

Description

An oldie that I just love. I decided to revisit it.

RAW (one of my first shots in RAW), ISO 400, 1/320 sec, 1.6, 50 mm lens, early evening around 7 PM

I did some cropping, cloning, skin softening, brightened up eyes a bit, and some dodge and burn

All feedback, advice, and comments are welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking!!



Exif: F Number: 1.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 50.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D
