Fighter


	Fighter My son in the NICU last year, after being born 6 weeks early. He is 13 months old, now, and doing great! Taken in color with my 'ol point 'n' shoot....turned to b&w in Photoshop, selective color on his pacifier. Notice how big the pacifier looks compared to his face! Jennifer Ralston

A nice shot, Jennifer. Great minds think alike - I saw this photo and it reminded me of the one I posted earlier this month (http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.php?photoID=464562&catID=560&style=&contestCatID=3).

It sure is stressful when they're in there, but so wonderful when you finally get HOME!

How precious they are! Wonderful photo - and the size of the pacifier was what hit me too - great choice of selective color. I bet in a few years that he won't believe he was ever that small! :) -K

This is a fabulous photo and a great story photo! I love how you have handled the selective coloring.
Most of all, I am glad to hear that he is doing great. Can you post a follow up current pic here for us to see ?!

This photo touched me. My daughter was 5 weeks premature, but was healthy and was in the NICU for only 3 days. I am glad to hear your little guy is okay. THis is a beautiful picture. This is a photo to cherish forever.

I think this shot is just wonderful! What a keepsake and the selective coloring is right on! Makes you see the size of the pacifier compared to your tiny baby! You take such lovely, heart touching pictures!
