[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this at a friend's house. Little James was playing on a "jungle-gym" in the backyard. He just loved the camera! So much that he tries to grab it! I didn't have a flash on the camera, so there were harsh shadows on his face. In Photoshop I made a new layer in overlay mode, filled with 50% gray and used the white paintbrush tool at about 30% opacity to "dodge" the harsh areas. I really like the results. He's a sweet baby with an intense amount of love for life! I had to share his expression...

I love this shot of the kid lol! I love b&w pictures so that makes it even better for me. I like how he's reaching through the gap. Nice shot.

Very cute little guy Stacy. Considering the lack of flash, you did a nice job with this photo. Keep up the good work. God's best,

Tim

His expression is simply precious...wonderful Stacey :)

Great capture of a beautiful child Stacey. I love the expression on his face as he reaches for your camera. This is a perfect picture for B&W mode.
Thanks for sharing,
Liz

This is really effective Stacey. James' expression is great, and the finished image works well in B&W.
