I took about 200 images for a recent challenge, ended up not entering any of them... I find self portraits difficult... the difficulty is up to the 10th degree when you toss a kid or two into the mix.
Anyhow... Here is my nine month old son Samuel and I. I love the contrasts. And "This Moment" is to be enjoyed.
Pretty much a straight desat, adjust levels, contrast, cropped, resize, USM.
Awesome shot! I love the contrast in skin tones between Samuel and yourself. The one thing I don't like about the composition is Samuel's thumb being tucked down and your pinky finger comeing out..it looks strange. It is a great capture though and that is just a nitpick!
Very nice! I like the contrast between the hands, in tone and size. It never ceases to amaze me of the detail of a childs hands or feet, i look at my daughters fingers and just think "WOW". Great pic to have, congrats.
There a CD cover of a guy named Dominic Miller (Stings guitarist) where his 2 year old son walked up to his guitar while he was playing and touched the fretboard and this reminded me of that. Very sweet.
