Casper or my son?

Colour at minimum. Wanted a shot where he was not looking at cam. He is actually playing with a cardboard box that his christmas present came in..(money well spent!) Think I have gone too far with the pale look.

this is different. dont think i have seen anything like this before.. really like it. very subtle..love the tones, cropping looks great and it def holds you attention with him looking so intent on what he is doing. only thing i may have done is to increase the contrast to define shapes and lines a little more. but that may not have been what you were after anyway?

taken a second glance at it and maybe there is a tad too much forehead..?

I must say that looking at it again I really don't like it mate. Too bleached, as you say too much forehead. It illustrates we all do shots that in hindsight we wish we had not bothered with. This is one. The only thing I like about it is that its my son!

Well I prefer it to the rabbit...
It's a very interesting/arty effect, even if you don't like it in this case, it is a good tool to have in your arsenal.

Merv You are a diamond mate. You always see the good in everything and even with the most crappy shot you manage to find some kind of silver lining. You must have wings buddy. Thanks mate,good point and you made me feel better about it all. God bless you chum.

The eyes are nice but The rest of the image is just too pale for me, although I do like the composition.

I am trying to savour these years as much as I can mate! Great result for you in the xmas comp by the way bud! I actually voted for your pic (we are blood brothers now)

Cheers TCO, blood brothers! I thought the way the competition was handled was top notch, Just shows even a relative newcomer like me can have a good result.

You enjoy him while he is sweet and innocent, it doesnt last forever.......lol
