    Geez- He certainly has the cutest mouth in the world! He is so expressive!

    I love the one in the corner! And it would be so worth it to clone out the outlet! Candid or not, these are wonderful!

    (I just realized every sentance ended with a "!" !)

    Great job with such a cutie pie!

    Thanks Heather & Awais
    Heather...you were right. I looked at that stupid receptacle then went back and forth, then forgot to do it. Fixed now. Thanks for the kind words. One would think we'd get to see him more often as he only lives 25 minutes away but noooooooooooo. Everybody's working and stuff...Laughing.gif

    Awesome set!
    wow, these are fantastic!

    I just love your use of color in these (portrait pose especially) and his amazing range of expressions!

    Evil Murdock scares me a little bit! But "Rocket Scientist" makes me melt!!iloveyou.gif

    From the catchlights it looks like you shot with a flash, but from the balance of light, I certainly wouldn't be the wiser! Fabulous lighting and color, you have done very well!

    The first 7 have a *very* professional, lifestyle feel to them. The last two are nice, but they don't have that certain something in the lighting and processing to make them "pop". (not meant to be a criticism, just can't put my finger on it! headscratch.gif)

    Appreciate the feedback
    Lynne....good observations on the last two. I think the pop difference is that there isn't the amount of contrast in post as with a few of the others. I'm always messing around in LR/CS3 for different looks. Yes, fill flash was used...bounced of course...on camera. I would much rather mix my light with ambient for better DOF as it drives me crazy with one eye in focus and the other soft, so I shoot around 5.6-7.1 at times. Learning how to use flash effectively isn't that difficult understanding the principles behind it.

    Thanks for the kind words. Have to get enough shots for his 2nd year book upcoming in November mwink.gif
