Day 12

One more day until Friday!!!! Tonight, Reba and I had a chance to watch a 3 yr. old young man named Conor for a couple of hours while his parents were at church. I figured this might be a chance to work on some child portraits. Tougher than I thought. I had forgotten how hard it is to keep a 3 yr. old still for long enough to even focus. The trick is to get them in a chair and put a piece of pizza in front of them. I finally was able to get a couple to work with. I particularly liked the look on his face in this one. There was some post processing: Desaturated, adjusted levels, cloned out a little bit of a booster seat and applied a touch of Gaussian blur to soften a little. Thanks to Melissa and Rick for allowing me to use this shot.
