Poor Kid!!! ;-)I love this one JM!! The highkey effect with a nice contrast. Highlights the features of the face very well.
Those eyes are piercing, will be melting lots of hearts in the future!!
Good one, well thought out PS execution as well. #683510

Oh yeah, I think I've seen this at the other site. This is awesome, Joan! I agree completely with G's comments. I like the unique effects you used...the composition is spot on, and the most important thing of all, I do believe that you have captured the 'essence' of Donavan.This image showcases both your wonderful PS and photographic skills. This truly deserves the recognition it received...congratulations!!!

I'd say you have mastered the art of the high key image.....!Tammy L. Bevins May 30, 2005
This is great. did you overexpose at capture or did you do it all in PS? Great look. It looks like a watercolor painting minus the color! #1411908Susan M. Campbell June 06, 2009
