I promise to post photos of subjects other than my son, but not this time...

Straight out of the camera......after:

B&W conversion
Sharpening

C&C appreciated

I have printed this A3 and love it, although I wish I had some large heavy-matte paper.

Gorgeous.

A little hot towards the top half.

Patrick - sensational, this WILL be one to keep and remember! LOVE IT!
Frame it! DEFINATELY frame it, if you don't I will, but then that'd be a bit weird, Bel and Alicia might get spooked

.

As Kris has said a bit hot at the top, a slightly tighter crop would fix this.

Sir Echo Stubbsy here

Awesome image and one to be proud of. I'd try dodging Alicia's shoulder a little rather than cropping on the left as I think that Alicia's hand adds nice scale to the image

Peter - I meant cropping from the top..
Therefore no hand will be effected.

Thanks everyone - Geoff, I definately plan to frame it, to keep our respective better halves from being too spooked.

I agree about the top shoulder, although I was trying to focus on the histogram forgetting that it was still the brightest part of the photo!

Peter, I will try dodging instead of cropping as I would like to print again on something like the Hahnemuhle or Museo paper (Geoff mentioned a few weeks ago).

By the way, on the print (Ilford Smooth Pearl), the shoulder doesn't appear too distracting

Cheers

Patrick - can't wait to see the print!

This pic is fine on both counts - the so called blown area still has around 5% CYM and rates at 247 - so, a gorgeous photo that will print fine.

Lovely photo, Patrick. He looks like he likes his photo taken.

Great shot mate.

I know what it's like to take a million photos of the little one, then feel like it's all you post, but who cares? Not me, that for sure.

Maybe be a good image for canvass?

Well done.

Thanks for the comments and, you're right, I am not overly concerned. It is simply representative of the fact that we have had fewer opportunities to get out into a different environment to take photos.

Canvas would be a good option - the Epson R1800 supports canvas, yeah??

Cheers
