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? #3826868Janine Russell January 16, 2007
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, thanks so much for your encouragement and kind comments; I know what you mean about grandchildren moving fast - they are a challenge to capture. #3956685Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
