    A very busy boy:

    Grandma shot this one with a Fujifilm FinePix T300 at 1/105sec, ISO 200, F5.4.
    Not a camera to be used to shoot busy toddlers!

    Well I think she has done very well!

    What do you think?

    Re: A very busy boy:

    very nicely shot! I have two granddaughters now and love to shoot them as often as I can.

    To make this shot an even greater standout, I wonder whether it would benefit from about 1/3 stop more exposure, dropping the black point and raising the white point a tad, and adding some localized sharpening, LCE (or clarity) and saturation to the eyes' pupils and irises. He has very nice eyes that I think might pop a bit more. I've used this approach frequently with my granddaughters and been please with the results.

    I think a little more space above his head is needed, if you have it.

    Good looking boy, Andre. He must take after his grandmother

    Thanks Kevin,

    All very valid points.
    Remember it was shot by Grandma, using a toy camera!

    Thanks Izzie,

    At first I thought he was Grandpa and Grandma beautiful. You know that kind of beautiful? Your children are always the most beautiful!
    Well, seems this one is more than Grandpa beautiful.

    We are very blessed. He is a real little BOY.

    He loves the ladies.

    Thanks Greg,

    Grandma did not leave space at the top. She had to shoot whatever she could get. That camera is very slow.

    Well, he's got two beautiful Grandmas and a beautiful mother.

    Duly understood, and duly impressed. My comments were for her more than capable husband in his post-processing lab
