when i was six, i recall getting fifty cents from the tooth fairy for my first tooth.... inflation has hit everywhere.... the boy lost the first one on thursday, and then another yesterday :lol3 at this rate i may need to sell another lens to keep up!

canon 1Ds Mark II with canon 100mm f/2.8 macro aboard. shot in raw, converted in acr and processed in ps cs2. love the spot healing brush feature, that's awesome ... trevor had just had a bunch of oreo cookies, so there was cookie around the corners of his mouth. the spot healer took care of it in no time. click pic for exif.

    How cute
    Oh my, I have the tooth fairy to look forward to :-)

    CJ's teeth are so perfect now... I can only hope his permanent teeth don't take after mine, Laughing.gif!

    Trevor's growing up fast! So what's the going rate for the tooth fairy these days?

    Cute photo!

    enjoy (dental) photography,
    I am happy to see you went to get yourself another 1Ds II so I can see you post those awesome sharp detailed pictures again.
    Keep them coming !

    Is your son 6 ? Mine is 7, and as you can see he just went to the dentist for his first check-up:

    This is a nice shot Andy. I like the view angle. His expression is great and is a nice transition from sharp to smooth soft background.

    The photo is nice and all, but it must be noted that you have one good looking young fellow there.

    I don't think you're cheap at all. My grandsons get $2 per tooth and I thought that was a lot. When we started with our kids, they got a quarter. By the time we got to the last kid it was $1. But then, I remember when a loaf of bread was a quarter...... Shoot, my daughter remembers when a loaf of bread was a quarter. Any of you remember when a loaf of bread was a nickle? Not me, I'm not that old. rolleyes1.gif

    By the way Andy, that's a great shot of a really cute kid. thumb.gif
