A 2yr olds b'day... I've boosted the shadows and desaturated, what do you think. The 2nd is soft, and I do have sharper shots, but this one has more impact for me, a sense of a chocolate covered kid leaping at ya... (edit. added 3rd image)

nice capture...fav is first. I like the perspective and the feel of movement

Second one for me. I agree- the slight 'fuzziness' works for me too.

There is something about the way that a kid can love chocolate that adults can't replicate.

NO! I has the cake!

And... we went to another birthday party! This got the same treatment as above, a bit harder though because he has a very ruddy face..

nice stuff hehe the first is my pick.

is this an action that you're using or..?

Hi Seeto, no just messing in Capture NX with the chroma levels, or even just de-saturating in picasa2. Playing with the levels and d-lighting to get some of the contrast.
