The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer

    Sweet family moment you captured.
    I've not seen the movie the Grinch, so from the commercials I've seen, this shot was not what I was expecting either... Alot of that going around it seems :)

    I like it Patti.

    I've been away and missed your response Liz. Thanks for commenting.

    wave.gif Patti, nice to see you. This shot is good - but underexposed. See the difference here?

    Hey Andy! Merry belated to you and Nancy. I have a habit of liking things underexposed it seems. When I lighten them up they look overexposed to me. Go figure. ne_nau.gif What about the blown lamp and reflection off of the secretary next to it. Don't you find that distracting? I'm here to learn bowdown.gif

    I'm with you on this, Patti. I don't say it's underexposed, but I have a preference for the shades of greys sans blown highlights. That is also the niche I occupy in this forum, as most others encourage me to both brighten and increase the contrasts on many of my posts.

    Missed commenting originally, but I like seeing kids with the digital cameras and adults "cooperating" and encouraging them.

    Yeah of course - I just did a quick bump w/ Curves. You could spend another 10 seconds and mask away the added exposure in the secretary (blown out lamp reflection). Mainly I would be concerned about the skin tones (not so ashy gray) and the white tshirt.

    No, I don't think it's underexposed, either. I am in the slightly darker side of things and my shots are often accused of being underexposed...

    I like the original.

    :)
