I caght this shot of my 2 yo son Timothy while we were wandering around the pumpkin patch. I like the brooding kind of expression he has, and then during post process I noticed he had his left hand stuck in his pocket. It made me think of a GQ cover shot. Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

This is an AWESOME shot! I just love it!!

The light areas look a bit too blown out. (On his face, on his pants.) I love it in B&W, but would love to see the conversion to B&W finessed a little bit more. (Holler if you want tips for PS or Lightroom.)

Thanks Stephie and Andi!!! Andi, I re-worked it a little. It is a little darker overall, but I think I maintained some of the detail lost in the first version. What do you think??

I love this also. Wow just a mighty fine capture. This young man looks like the future president. Serious little guy and very dear.
The second darkened shot really adds a nice depth. Great work.:D

This is a very good photo (the second. darker edit). Has all the elements of the classic: non trivial stance, facial expression, good exposure and controll of DOF.
