All Aboard!

Oh, Kim ... this little guy seems to provide an endless source of wonderful images. This is great!! What ... a playground or something? I love the tones that you've used here. His expression is wonderful, too. Did he not know that you were there?

This was a park with lots of different things to play on. They had a wooden train and Sean loves the train. He was watching some other kids, an endless source of fascination for him, so I was able to capture some moments when he was totally unaware of the camera. I think Sean is very photogenic - he has light blue eyes that turn out well in quadtones. I was torn on this shot - it was very colorful, so it was hard not to keep the color, but I wanted that "old world" look to this, too. Plus the color would probably compete with Sean. I'll attach the color version so you can compare.

Sepia toning makes this image magical and more enduring. Well done.

Thanks, Howard - I do prefer the sepia look more than the color version.

Very nice portrait.

Thanks, Igor.

Wonderful! I like the sephia tones best. Which is unusual for me, I usually like color. But, I agree, the colors are competing with Sean. He's much too cute to be in competition with anything! Love the Hat! As usual!

Kim, that " model" of yours is worth all the " money"....The sepia version is very beautiful.Pnina

 

 

Thanks, Jayme and Pnina. I do prefer the sepia, too.

See original image - do you think sepia works well for this image or

color is better?

Yes - even a confirmed colour fan like me prefers the sepia here. I think the red is a bit overwhelming. Nice capture!

Thanks, Colin. I've become a big fan of sepia (or quadtones) for portraits.

I'll join the group who thinks that the sepia works much better than the color. What a cutie-pie!! :-)
