Logan

My wife and I had our 15 month old grandson for 3 days this past weekend. Kids this age never seem to run out of energy.......wish I could say the same for me. I did get a few shots of him both inside and outside.

Your family is very fortunate to have such nice photos of Logan. Wonderful color and expressions! I trust that you have amply rewarded your model for such great skills.

A polarizer would have worked wonders on the glare in the grass, not that you would have necessarily had the time to set it properly given the age of the subject. Consider sharpening the eyes just a bit more in the first two.

Good use of the light. Expressive portraits.

Thank you Mike and Jean. I had a polarizer in my pocket but never had a chance to put it on, he's quick. I did smooth his cheek skin just a little and will now see if I can touch-up the eyes just a tad.

Dave, look like he was having a great time with his grandparents. Love the images. Logan is very luck to know his grandparents, a lot of people never got that opportunity, like me.

Dave,what a handsome little boy!

I thought that the original was a bit over green so I used NIK Viveza and globally reduced the green slider and then increased the warmth slider. Then I selected the left (image right) side of his face with a Viveza Control Point and brightened that side. The left eye still seemed darker than the right (image left) eye, so I selected that eye with a very small Viveza control point increased the brightness slider and increased the structure slider.



I am not absolutely happy with the left (image right) eye and would work need to harder on this. Very likely; selecting the white portion of the eye might do the trick!

Nice portraits.

Thanks Richard, sure brought out the eyes.
