Lol I am laughing at the stalker comment. I understand that, and so do my kids hehe. I agree with what everyone said about the levels adjustment. I have also been playing around with idnic's "Move the Light" tutorial, in conjunction with Brightness/Contrast and Levels and I'm addicted. Your niece has very pretty eyes, btw and I bet she is fun to photograph!

I love how your b/w conversion really helps emphasize the expression on his face. The whole photo has so much more drama now. And the lighting behind his head is a nice little extra effect.

use your head!

I agree about the lighting, but this one is funny!

Sugarbeet Factory

Comment:
What's cool about your processing is that this looks like a photo that the factory would have hanging in their offices. It has this antiquish feel to it. I like the puddle and reflections too.

The sky and the clouds are my favorite part. I love how you captured the fluff-ball details of the clouds. The clarity of the building looks really good too. I'd think that for another trip, you'd have a really interesting photo if you centered the building and used the same lens (not sure if that makes sense lol). I know you are capturing the street on the right but those buildings running along with it don't add much to the photo for me.

I'm glad someone nominated this for an OOBIE. I thought this was quite clever. It's like looking thru a peephole and that is what provided the framing, of course. I like that it's not perfectly set up, because that would make it feel clean and posed. Keep doing your work the way you want to and ignore the nay-sayers.

What I like about this is that it has that textured-overlays look. I love how areas of sharpness peek in thru the blur. I would have also liked to have seen just the lone tree and the field behind the tree - it's like there's a mystical moment here waiting to happen.

Oh what a sweet pumpkin! I love those big eyes - he looks almost like a doll! The square crop is better as it helps balance out the foreground framing. Cute photo!

The Lads

Don't laugh, but the first thing that caught my eye were their haircuts and ears. I don't know why! Then I see the spotted jacket and the man-purse. Who knew there could be so much to look at while observing someone from behind!

I think we all are still learning to use photoshop lol. I don't think the learning ever stops. This is a great photo and your conversion is wonderful. I love seeing all the details in the feathers. I bet this is very pretty in color!
