Just playing in the backyard practicing taking shots using manual focus. I like the way this one turned out, gives a sense on my 3-year old's personality (and energy level :huh ). Your c/c much appreciated.

Cute! I really like the processing and how the bubbles pop. Ha ha ha, I didn't intend the pun when I first typed it.

Thanks Caroline....I was eager to try this preset (http://www.presetsheaven.com/2008/11/19/5-new-free-presets-creative-catalyst/) (that I tweaked just a little) which I learned about from this thread (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=138809).

Precious! I love the expression, toning, composition and generally happy-go-lucky attitude of the picture. Beautiful! :clap

I think the blue toning is just a bit too harsh. Pull down the opacity/strength a tiny bit. Otherwise, great photo.

cutness! I like the composition and the bubbles but I think it would also look great in color as that would give it a more summer time feel for me anyway.

I'll play around with it BD....though I think I'm partial to the toning.:wink :rolleyes

Wow - I even got a heavy hitter to comment!! :wink Thanks Sandy.....the color version just didn't do it for me, but I agree that it would have given this image a better summertime feeling.
