the little fella has had an ear infection, is cutting 4 teeth and has a pretty bad rash. all in all he's had a hard time. i'll never forget how sad he was when i look at this photo.

thats why i love this shot, it's a frozen moment in time that will live with me forever. good or bad, captured moments are priceless. sometimes it takes a shot like this to remind me why i love photography, its not always about the "perfect" shot.

b&W conversion, blue filter applied for mood, small amount of film grain added.

Oh this is a fantastic shot... as you said it has really caught that moment in time... poor little mite... I personally can't think of anything to improve it...

cept maybe a Fuji S5pro...

or a Canon... *evil grin*

What B&W conversion did you use- sorry I dont understand what you wrote.- "b&W conversion"

sorry, thats a script error from when i copied and pasted from flickr. for the B&W i just did straight B&W conversion with captureNX and then a 10% opacity colorise overlay. there's much better ways to do it i'm sure but i don't have the time, (or know how :lol:

), to do it a better way. my PP skills suck.

Can't see how you could improve it much, frankly, but have you had a play with Lightroom? It rocks for this sort of stuff.

Gary, you're gunna be waiting a while. I'm wayyy higher up the list than you alphabetically speaking and I'm still waiting impatiently...

Keep an eye on that ear infection. A friend of mine lost 60% of his hearing permanently because the infection was not picked up and treated. Beautiful photograph! You won't believe what it will invoke in 30 years time.
