Here are few of my son and one of his friends in an Explorer Scout Competition week before last. Hope you enjoy. C & C is always welcomed.
1 - My Son




2 His Buddy



3. My son leading the way after rescuing the fire hose child from simulated house on fire. Smoke is actually a fogger with bubble gum flavored smoke.

Great to see your Eagle continuing on in scouting.

Nice shots, and the processing works well for the theme. My favorite is #2 since you can see the eyes.

Caspian

Very nice set. I like the use of DOF to isolate the subject from the background, especially in #1 & 2.

Congrats to your son and his scouting endeavors!

I love them all but find #1 & #2 really capture the moment... great shots!

Great shots...love the HDR treatment on these, fits well with the content.

Thanks for all the nice comments. He has been in scouts since he was six as a Tiger Cub, was awarded his Eagle rank about 18 months ago and joined this brand new Explorer post in Jan. He is having a blast.

No HDR here just some playing around with the Topaz Adjust filters. I had another one of them exiting the smoke house that Hunter's eyes were visible but was not sharp.
