I like this image, but wish that you would have desaturated the road... i find that I am looking at it, when I should be looking at the trees/snow/house.

Possible (IMO) the best image in terms of meeting the descrition and the idea of the challenge. When you add thisto the very strong balck and white conversion and the wordless story that the sausage makers face and arms tells it all combines to make a genuinely outstanding image. Bumping to 10 and I hope this does brilliantly for you

those are some amazingly big eyes he has! you need to use them more often...

the lighting from behind does not let the eyes shine as much as they could - play around with the angle of light to really emphasize his face

Nice composition/crop here. Doesn't look oversharpened on my monitor but a tad dark and have to view from an angle to get the detail in the eyes (my monitor though I think).

Priceless! The lighting on the face of your son is fabulous - and how the two are so entertained by the chewing on a finger - great stoff!

In contrast to the old saying, this doesn't look nearly as frightening as watching Congress in session . :-)

Dang he's a cute kid - he has a marvelously inquisitive look in this. I'm not sure how you "shoot in B&W in RAW - I can set the 30D to shoot B&W, but that's the jpeg - the RAW is still in color. Skin tone is the hardest thing (to me) for B&W, but you've done a good job with it here. It's a tad dark on one of my monitors, but fine on the other (both are LCDs), and it doesn't look oversharpened to me. (I do have to sharpen more for posting here than I think as well - some LCD monitors simply are "sharper", I think.)

Nice attentive expression, great eyes. Sharpening gives this a high impact look compared with had you gone with a softer image.
