Description

One of my favorite portraits of my nephew that I took a few days ago. He loves trucks, construction, anything like that, so this really shows off his personality. Portrait was taken in my home in the afternoon, using only natural light from a window. My camera was on the portrait mode. Edited with Paint Shop Pro, I used Despeckle to remove noise, Unsharp Mask to make the photo more clear, brightened it, and increased the contrast.
