Since I usually only have opportunity to take pictures of people I thought this might qualify as a serenity photo. A soon to be dad trying to listen to his unborn baby's heart. What do you think? Is the crop/conversion ok for a challenge?? Not quite sure what they are looking for on these things....

    I really like it. I think the conversion is very nice.
    For my taste, it could be cropped off the bottom to just where the crease of the dad's arm pit starts. Beautiful serene image.

    Very nice conversion....Nice shot, imo the pic could be cropped from top and bottom, armpits on both ends. The look of the soon to be dad is very nice!!
    You're only as good as your next photo....

When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    thumb.gif Nice shot. I wonder how it would look as a high key? Maybe with a black background ? I like it as is just wondering what a dark background and a little more contrast would look like.
