Humayun the dog is cute but your son is such a handsome young man.Like his bib overalls and the colorful shirt.
Also like the way the dog and Shehryar are looking opposite directions. Really cute.
Very nicely done.

Excellent moment of capture, and the title is perfect. #1335112Sara Jensen May 09, 2005
Oh my goodness...perfect timing. I'm not sure you could help but get a good picture with those two in it, but this has so much more personality than if they were doing the typical hugging or whatever. Very cute. #1335319Pam M May 09, 2005
Hey ... I got your note ...tsk tsk ... you are such a tease ... I have ideas ... I'll get back to you in the morning ... Darling Hubby and I think we should probably sleep at least a short while. ... mmm ... but I sure do have ideas about this picture ;)
but if you hadn't said a word ... I would not have paid attention ;)

The sun gave you away ... I don't know how in the world you would have prevented it. That would be a good question. If someone doesn't show up and tell you here, ask in a Q&A Discussion and let me know if you find a solution.thanks for the fun,

oops .. ok once more ... #1336527Pam M May 10, 2005
aggg! Ok one more try! #1336534Pam M May 10, 2005
lol of course I don't have the copyright on that. Okay, Humayun, is that anywhere near what the original looks like? #1336559Pam M May 10, 2005
I keep looking at this picture ... I apologize for not sticking everything in one post ... but life doesn't always bring me everything in one block of thought.You see ... what's really great about this picture is that you realized you could take a "snapshot" type situation and rearrange it into a work of art that says so much.
Instead of this being another photo where it's obvious the subject caught the photographer sneeking up, you turned it into a great, fun image ... where most people would ignore the facts just to follow the story.
I certainly was willing to allow it to stand ... and wouldn't have ever paid attention ... except for your mischivious note ... and if you'd never thrown out the challenge ... I'd be saying ...
"Wow! Another great capture how do you manage to keep sneeking up on your children?!"
All the same ... do some asking around ... I'm betting there's ways to fool the brain even more!
have more fun!

:-) Thanks for revealing the “secret”! Although u did a great job with PS (u r my teacher.. after all!!) but No.. u don’t have the copyright to that because ur work look suspiciously similar to the original picture! LOL.Pam M May 11, 2005
Humayun,I did some poking around today at a bookstore. And there are ways to select the shadowed part and lighten it. I didn't take notes but that's practically the whole idea of it. The fine art of it ... yeah ... that's what I should have taken notes on ... because it seems it would be real easy to end up with a "seamed" look.
While I was reading, it dawned on me! The big huge give away was that tree shadow in the background.
If you clone that out, bring in the right side to the point where the frame cuts just the smallest bit of your son's leg off ... then ... would it look like they are facing the sun?
When I saw your original, I was surprised that I was that close. I sent you my re-do/un-do pic last night...because just to avoid confusion i'm going to delete my copy in a bit. Did you get it? I'm having email issues!
My re-do is really sloppy. While I was doing what it took to make it, I really appreciated the work you put into it.
I was quite certain you had not planned to keep any secrets. I was very pleased to have a chance to work on your challenge, though.
You have far surpassed this teacher! All I did was say ... Poke at it like this ... Play around with that there ... and you took off running! :-D
That is my favorite thing in all the world ... I love to see a person's eye's light up when it clicks ... when they realize ... "HEY I CAN DO THIS! AND Since I can do this ... I bet I can do THAT too!" But, No matter what information I may reveal to a person, I can't put this drive to go on into them. They have that in them ... I can't put it there.
I can't wait to see what you do next.
Have fun,
