    i used only a bit of rgb curves to increase the contrast some, really a slight ess-curve, bring the shadows some and the highlights up just a snidge. that's it, otherwise it's the full frame, not a crop. total in-post about 2 mins.

    cheers,

    HELP put Andy on Times Square, and
    It is a great shot, Andy, and congratulations! A lot of people are winners on this POTD.

    I remember, I think, didn't you post that picture, like last week, or so. And it probably didn't get the attention that it deserved, in fact I know it didn't. There were a lot of "kid" shots going up at the time.

    That one that was just "another" kid, well, it is a winner. I can see why it was chosen.

    And, uh, Andy, maybe you could do a tutorial on pictures Kodak likes to get for POTD. I am thinking, considering your wife and this child that tight cropping looks very impressive on that big board.

    Maybe I will tight crop my family in DC. Laughing.gif But I will be using jpeg there, just gotta. Wish I had one of those memory holders, too. (I am sure my hard drive is greatful that I don't have one, lol. I have been thinking of the shock to my computer's system when I use and upload 2 1 gb cards)

    ginger

    congrats again, Andy.

    Oh what I wanted to say is that I think Andy should be on that board. Someone near and dear, please "shoot" him, one way or another, so that he is the one in lights over Times Square.
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Andy, I can visualize the moment with you and the little girl.

    But which lens did you use?

    WTG Andy!!! clap.gif

    Another notch in your belt thumb.gif You're gonna need to get a new belt soon....lol A beautiful child (love the expression on her face) and an excellent capture. And as Ginger asked, what lens did you use?
    Congrats on another deserving winner clap.gif FWIW, If they (Kodak) weren't worried about people starting to call it the "Andy Williams POTD", they'd also pick your fisherman shot. You're problem is the opposite of most of our's. You've got too many great shots. A nice problem indeed ;-)
