This is a wonderful portrait that will be treasured as a "moment in time".
Beautiful light, nice catchlights and those missing teeth are just priceless. In a perfect world a little more "airspace" at the top might have been nice, but if there was no room for that, it's a tiny niggle -it works beautifully as it is.
I agree with divamum that a bit more of the top would have been nice, but it's really nice as is too Such gorgeous eyes!! And I too love the missing tooth.
Very nice shot. His eyes...WOW! Any processing on this one?
thanks for all your kind comments. the only thing I did on this was the tiniest bit of colour adjustment on the eyes - probably around 5% of added blue. Then I simply sharpened using iPhoto to 100% - that's it. I was just fortunate to capture him and his sister (which I will post as a new thread).
the light was nice, sun was low in the sky so I put them out of direct on the face light.
