You Can't See Me!

of your people folder..this is the best one...I see you opened up photoshop and monochromed the tree(maybe) and background. this pictures captures the spirt of the boy.. is the boy family???

This is my husband's nephew. He is a very mischievious 6 year old. His recent portraits taken at a studio didn't come out very well - he and his sister refused to smile at all and only clenched their teeth. My sister-in-law was delighted because I gave her two framed pictures of her kids for Christmas, captured in completely spontaneous moments, like this one. I prefer candid pictures whenever possible, rather than posed. This composition had a bright green background that I thought distracted from the little boy. Converting to B&W seems to work well with situations like this. Thanks for viewing and commenting, Terry!

A very nice portrait, I think, and very effective use of selective desaturation.

You out did yourself. The "X" like compositon of the boy and the tree keep you in the frame. The B&W was the right choice and your sister-in-law owes you one for this. Best Regards, Howard

Actually, Howard, this wasn't one I gave her (only played with it yesterday)! I gave her a couple of sepia-toned head shots only that she can hang in her office. Might do this one as an "extra". Thanks for stopping by.

A candid shot of my husband's nephew, who won't cooperate for studio

shots! Changed background to b&w because it was too bright and

distracted from the face. Comments?

nice shot. Very well organized, lines are nice. Expression and pose are nice as well. Colors are deep, focus is well done. Nice shot.

Great shot of him Kim. Well done for getting such a good shot of an elusive subject!
