was just playing around with this baby pic ... what do you think?

I like the photo, but I am not so sure on the PP. I understand there is a 'look' you are going for moving the blacks into the mid-tones, but I would like to see less clipping, and more highlight detail, even if it is compressed to a small area.

He looked so peaceful sleeping that i thought i would try and give the shot a dreamy look.

i had low light no flash and had it at 100mm f3.5 1/125 and iso 800 to try and get the speed up to stop blur as i was very close and wanted as much DOF as i could handle hand held.

heres the untouched original...

I prefer your PP version, it's much softer than the original which is appropriate for a baby sleeping. I think it would be great on a dark background for either a hung portrait or the front of a christening invite.

thanks Ladybird ... thanks for the ideas

a normal portrait.

bubbles...

I like the PP'd version Shane.. it would make an excellent thank you card or something... cringing at the last shot though... it makes me want to get a tissue and wipe his little mouth... and what adorable eye's he has... too cute...
