[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a picture of my nephew Connor. He was standing in front of the tv playing with my dad. After looking more closly, I notice the picture on the tv made this shot very interesting. I also noticed, the lights overlapped his hand - it must have been something weird that my camera did.

I cropped the shot to make it unique, sharpened and prepared for the web.

Another great family shot. Your cropped composition is well done and you've caught an innocent, curious expression on his face. Well done.

I've noticed that some of your photos are a little pixelated and I think I know why. I don't think it's in the post-processing, i.e. the sizing for the web. The problem might lie in your camera settings. Most compact digital cameras have an optical zoom and a digital zoom. When you're zooming in on a subject and the optical zoom reaches its limit, the digital zoom takes over. But you're not really zooming in any more - instead the camera is cropping and blowing up successive areas of the image, resulting in pixels showing. Check somewhere within one of the camera's menus and see if the digital zoom is on. If it is, turn it off. You won't be able to zoom in as much, but your picture quality will increase dramatically.

What a great shot of Connor, Jennifer. Such happiness is so good to capture.
Maybe a little over sharpened or it could be as 'seneca77' says.
But well done...

Too bad the photo is so digitized, Jennifer. Your nephew is really cute and I like the idea of the TV as a background.
