Here's one of my favourite pics.

It's of my daughter playing peek-a-boo over a woodern bench at Casagrain winery.

Mike - welcome to the forum :) .

Kids just make great subjects.

Hope you had a good day at the Winery, but then again, how could you have a bad day at a Winery :!: .

Keep sending the pictures and questions, and you are sure to get many comments from the forum group.

Cheerio,
fozzie

Nice pic of your daughter. I just uploaded it and recropped it much tighter in PS. I think it looks a little stronger. How did you tone it?

thanks fozzie... yup the winery was great!

Matt.k - i toned that pic using photoshop also... changed it to greyscale... up'd the contrast a little and changed the colour balance a little to give it a slight sepia look..

Welcome from the west side Mike!! Like the pic, great dof, really focuses on her eyes. Obviously your a Honda fan, although that particular car is an Acura over here, are those your images in the collage??

Nice pic, and welcome.

Just for next time... when posting the pic, don't make the width so long... try to keep it under 800 or 700 pixels so it doesn't stretch people's pages so much. :)

Cheers and welcome.
