"Hey ... where'd all the candy go??"

Uploaded: November 09, 2008

Description

My little guy Ethan with one of the kids' trick-or-treat pumpkins. Luckily I had taken all 3 of them & dumped all their candy into a bag LOL. Taken the other day in the living room. Natural light from the front door. We have dark wood floors & furniture, so much of the light gets sucked up, but I liked the result from the slow shutter speed here & enhanced it by bumping up the contrast a bit & adding some extra grain. Converted to b&w using goldenrod action in CS 3.
