My son and I laying on the futon watching the Steelers game. It's an intense game. We love watching games together.

My son's Patriots jersey is from his elementary school. He's the running back for the team.

Prolly should have dropped you a comment during the challenge, this shot is awesome. What makes it great is the simplicity, it's just normal life, I love it. Excellent work.

I miss sitting for hours to watch a game. Nice family moment ;)

Yes, your son looks a bit too green. Do you use Photoshop? there is an easy way to check/correct the color balance on your pics using curves.

What I do is to put the cursor on a "neutral spot" like the white on your shirt or your son's and check the info of the pic where you see the Red, blue and green channel values. If you think it's a "neutral spot" then the three channels should have the same value or roughly the same (i.e. totally white should have values of 255 for all the channes, totally black has 0 for all the channels). This helps you to see if one of the channels is way off, if it is, then go to curves go to that channel and look for the spot of the curve where your "neutral spot" is, move it up or down until you get the final value closer to the other channels. Flatten the image and pp as usual, you will notice a big difference. Sounds complicated but its really easy. Let me know if this helps or you need something more visual maybe I can get the tutorial or put one together for ya.

As an example look at my yesterday pic: this is how it looks originaly

If you go to the sign that says home team you will see that even if it looks white the red is way down, I adjusted it and it seems you liked the reds in this one ;)

Good luck

Nice relaxed picture...One of my sons watches the games with me too (Aussie Rules though) and really gets into it! Skin colours just look slightly off. Your son looks a tad green. Nothing an adjustment won't fix. Well done!

Great slice of life, and a very affectionate picture. Composition is right on for what's happening here.

Good job. Fun relaxing shot. Soft yet totally focused on the game.

Neat shot, very nicely personal.

Something's going on with the side of your face toward him, though. Looks like you've got whiskers only on that side. A little too much noise reduction, perhaps?

This is one sweet shot. I love it! He looks just like you. But why is he wearing a Patriots jersey? Really like this.
