Hi,

I would appreciate your thoughts on these two pictures. First one is of my son and the other a self portrait. Thanks!

    I like your self-portrait - very purposeful PP on that.

    Your son's portrait is well... trendy and 'striking' I guess, but (for me) it's a case of a photograph where the shot itself is secondary to PP (which kind of ruins it for me).

    Just to be clear - I don't have anything against PP (and as I said, I do appreciate a good PP - say on your self-portrait). Still, for me - photography holds much more magic than Photoshop

    Obviously, everything is IMHO :)

    Well, I figure that the purpose of the first image was to convey an "attitude" of some sort, but personally I'm getting tired of the ol' "finger" pose. I see it a lot lately...maybe its me, but I just don't get it...especially when its conveyed by someone that's probably too young to know what it even means. Good control of DOF, though. Just my two cents.
