My little man

Took this image tonight while my little man was in the bath. He's now 13 months old and full of mischief. Lighting was a combination of down lights and a heat lamp, so I shot in RAW and adjusted. PPing for crop, brightness and contrast.

D2h body, Sigma 24-70mm, F5.6.

C&C welcomed!

:D

That's a beautiful photo, and one to be proud of. You must love the little fellow to bits

Great shot Alan, perhaps my monitor but he seems to have a slight orange 'fake tan' sheen to his skin.

He looks like a little mischievous ratbag, just wait until he's a little older :D

Edit: Was my laptop monitor :) Slightly out in colour... Main PC it looks great!!!

just wondering if you meant to have his right eye out of focus? its a little distracting with the light in his right eye being so blury. other then that awesome shot i love it.

Thanks for the comments folks. Portraits are somethng I usually avoid, but the lighting in the bath seemed okay. Until I tried to meter it, this is also on 640 ISO, so the lighting wasn't the best after all. Thats why the DOF is so shallow. Ideally I would have had some bounced flash or the likes, but it was a spur of the moment shot.

His mum is pretty chuffed, so I'm in the good books. Now, to broach the D2x issue with her..... :roll:

Great colour under non-standard lighting.
