My grandson..Cowboy for Halloween. He is 21/2 & rare to get him to stand still ....i did a pretty poor job on the BG-any suggestions would be welcome.

That's one serious looking cowboy. I completely understand how hard it is to get them to stay still, even for a quick shot. The background isn't too much of an issue for me and darkening or blurring may help.

He's adorable!! I agree with the others to blacken the background further. But you could also extract him in ps (mostly solid lines so it would be easy) and put him on a digital background of something halloweenish or fallish (maybe a pumpkin?).

Too cute Pat. Nice skin tones - looks like he has been running around and having a great time. I think I agree with Henk hajeka and would blacken out the whole of the background. This would also get rid of a bit of noise evident in the carpet area.

i love the way he stands out from the background pat .. not too light to detract from your grandson and not too dark to totally obscure the details .. i think you've processed this excellently .. i hope you all had a great day .. :)
the geese close up were brilliant bye the way .. i tried to reply, but it wouldnt do it .. i havent got my computer and so i dont have outlook express and sending thru my email account isnt as easy .. :)

Nice looking cowboy (and a patient model)! About the background: think the best way is too darken it more (Looks too busy to lighten it up).
