Photo of my son...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

i think it's a wonderful shot... a great memory...

as far as composition... i'd probably crop a little to get rid of some dead space. the angle makes me a little dizzy too :)

nicely done.

cheers

creative shot love the DOF and the angle it was shot at
did you darken the out of focus areas the lighting seems to only affect the face - nice effect

Nice shot Jonathan.

I need to have one of these children thingys in the next 20 years! I think it helps people not become too self absorbed.

Very nice photo and great kid. I feel there is a bit too much flash on his face and I'd like to see more DOF on his shoulders. What aperture did you use?

The out of focus areas were dark to begin with, the flash (SB-800) on TTL-BL threw the light onto him. I didnt do any PP cept for USM - scanning from slide film it needed it :)

:lol: I thought great discipleship came from being married... but throw a child + 1 due later into the equation and well... you have not much room for self-absorbtion! (or photogear for that matter :D - but I wouldnt trade my family for the world!)

Im only guessing as I shot it some while ago on my F100, it would most liekly have been f5.6 on the 50:1.8. I was close, therefore the DOF even at this aperture.

thanks for your feedback guys!
