All natural light. Levels adjusted - no crop except for #3.

C & C welcomed.

Pool diving board jumpers, lifegaurds and eye candy to come. Stay tuned!

    The framing in #2 is fantastic, Frank.

    His skin, in several of the shots, looks very plasticy (#3 looks very unnatural to me). Did you do any processing to it or am I seeing things? ne_nau.gif

    Nice shots overall, though. I dig the colors.

    Great shots Frank. The boys eyes in the third, processing, or something shaping the light in his eyes?

    I usually do a bit of skin smoothing to my shots, but these, I just did tone corretions but nothing to the skinn. Let me post an original size.

    As you can see, the DOF make the rest of his skin look 'plasticy'. As far as the eyes Shannon, I don't like the way they came out. I did my regular 10% boost and it looks like it was over done. Let me re-edit this pic and post it again.

    Thanks for the clarification. I just couldn't put my finger on whether it had been processed or not. The larger photo certainly helps clear things up. thumb.gif

    I guess this is a case of the lese being too sharp...

    I think the eyes look much better in this version. Well done.

    I guess sometimes, no PP is needed. This is basically SOOC just for a slight crop at the bottom, the paper plate is very distracting. But I couldn't help but capture his expression. "Milk again? WTF? Can I get some soda instead?" lol.

    I didn't even pay any attention to the plate I was so taken with giggles "Elmoo" milk, still makes me giggle, I guess the poor little guy wasn't as tickled by milk ne_nau.gifrolleyes1.gif
