thank you all and thank you tom too for the posthumous award!

i don't do a lot of setting up for shots I just kinda go with the flow. the colours caught me and it was a little bench my son had put his treat on

I don't understand the obsession with making everything totally un crooked :) life is crooked and I don't think the shot would be any better straightened... just straighter and anyone can do that

I am really glad I had something that week that fit at least one (though might have worked for two) challenges :)

thanks nicolas it's digital :) too many layers perhaps but by using a diffuse layer it can really soften the midtones and make it look filmy :)

thanks for the comments and favs everyone.. I didn't think about it but being new here I guess I should have realized no one knows I can actually choose how I want to expose a portrait lol.

This is my son and I have a zillion beautiful bright rosey cheek sharp pics of him (and some not so sharp and bright I suppose :) ) but wanted something more dark and intimate.. then there was this challenge and I thought it fit rather well. I actually did most of the work in camera just desaturated in lightroom a few other tweaks and made sure that there was no vignetting allowed here so left that off, it turned out it was better without the vignette I'm prone to anyhow.
