Thanks! I was very lucky with both of my shots of him. Basically just turned the camera and there he was posed and already framed.

Okay Judy,

I took out the fishing pole on version two. Funny that the one main thing you didnt like was actualy comped in to the picture.

Liked the shot and I took interest in your comments about the color. I am going to take a stab and assume you mean the color cast (the afternoon sun). If this is the case maybe I can help. If not just ignore me all together. =)

Okay so I copied your picture, opened it in photoshop and with three clicks in curves I got this (well the one on the top right.

If you like it this is all you have to do. Open up your image . In photoshop or similar program go to adjustment, then to curves (bascially my starting point for ALL my images) I know I need to get cracking and post some. There should be a set of three color grabbers there for you. Black/Shadows, Grey/Midtones, and White/Highlights. Using each individual eye dropper click on the corresponding parts of your picture and the white blanace should correct itself to the level of your liking.

Now in your image the palm tree is going to be your mid tone hiding under the sun somewhere, click around till you see the image the way you like it.

Maybe this was helpfull perhaps not. I hope it was though.. If it was and you have other questions, please dont hesitate.

Btw way the B&W(s) just match up with their above color versions Using an adjustment layer "channel mixer" 80% red and 20% green. The one in the Center just cropped and USM.

Once again, Great shot!
