Hey everyone,
I took this photo of one on my sons as we were playing in the tree. I'm interested to see what other think of it?

Andrew - just beautiful and a photo your son will be proud to show around when he is a lot older

Wow, a great image, very appealing.. bit weird as it looks lovely on my CRT but on my LCD.. I can see some patches on his forhead and cheeky.. like "light patches" I think the problem is at my end.

But a gorgeous image, print it big on canvas!

Gorgeous photo, B&W looks perfect.

Thanks guys after I took the photo and had a look at it I was rapped at they way it turned out

Very appealing image. I like the look he is giving as well.

Very nice shot!

Not quite an off-the-cuff snapshot while you were playing in the tree I think though Looks like you used a carefully planned lighting setup - I'm guessing this from the way the shadows fall, and the double highlight in his left eye - care to share your lighting arrangement?

Cheers

Edit: I'll take a guess - Sunlight, plus off-camera flash to camera right, triggered via optical slave from the on-board flash.

No actually i was playing with him in the trees. I liked the way the light fell so I asked him to climb it for me. He started to climb it and then popped his head around the tree trunk and I quickly took the photo.
He was 2 1/2yr in the photo so not the most co operative of models. Found it better to play games with him and try and get some candid shots off

That will be a family treasure no doubt, excellent!

Very nice Andrew, a real keeper!!
