    Boy, I feel really behind the times...I remember this little one being introduced to the world, but do not remember him getting that gorgeous name.

    I gotta warn you, in about 14 years, you are in for a lot of work fending off the young ladies. Liam is really cute, but this one, he's beautiful!!!!! (Takes after his mom does he????rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif )

    Hi Matty,

    Absolutely fantastic shot there! It helps to have such a photogenic model, but your colors, focus and post-processing are phenomenal...keep 'em coming, it's such great inspirationclap.gif .

    Cheers,

    Hihihi! Thanx Ann!
    His mother first wanted to name him "Lotus", but luckely, at last I got her to realise that Lotus is a feminin name. But boy was she obstinate, we almost fought about it! (women!) mwink.gif *Just kidding!*

    Yes, he takes after his mom. Liam is more alike me. :):

    Thanx 4labs!
    No big secrets:

    1/250 s, f/5.6, ISO 400, 125 mm.

    Did the regular level/contrast/USM tweakin' and added a subtle softening. Made a copy of the background layer, added some gaussian blur (4-5), then changed the opacity to ca 20%. Voilá! :):

    First of all, I want to say congratulation on the new edition to the family! I havent seen you at the STF for so long that I didnt know you had another son.

    Now Liam has someone to play with.

    This is a great portrait. What another lovely boy you have. It's just two right?

    Always good to see your work.

    Cheers.

    Thanx Vince! :):

    Yepp! Two boys it is! (So far!) mwink.gif No, things got stirred up back at the STF, so I left without a word. (It was about posting non-sony images or not on the STF-debate that got badly inflamed) There was a rumor spreading that I got banned (for adding a Canon picture in a thread where I asked if there was a finaly verdict for allowed or not allowed) but I wasn't - I just got sick and tired of all whining! :uhoh But, after all - the STF is a Sony Talk Forum, so I just have accept it. Sad, but resonable.

    Regards / Matty
