Growing Up #2 [contest finalists september 2004]

This is a previously submitted portrait of my son, but cropped tighter and some canvas texture on it to give it a painting look. I love how piercing his eyes turned out in these shots. This was natural lighting from windows on either side of him. F2.8, shutter @ 1/15.

Dale Ann, this is outstanding! I bet it would look great printed on matte paper. A beautiful image!!! Great lighting. Dale #749447Dale Ann Cubbage September 01, 2004
Thank you Karma, Cathy, Robin and Dale. I had this printed, but it was flat, no effects. And it did look good, but a little grainy from the crop. So I would love to have it printed larger and have some actual texture added to it to see how it would come out. It's one of my favorites of him. #749451
