I would just like to state for you all to no there was little to almost no proessing...the little boy just had a really good skin. That is just what he looks like smooth.
Sharp might be important in technical shots, advertising, macros and nature; but in interpretive works such as this, oversharpening can be a distraction. The creativity, humor, in-your-face attitude and this super great kid all combine to make this one of my top ten favorites for this challenge regardless of the piece's overworked look. ( My folks made me wear a suit just like that when I was 5 LOL)
this would have been GREAT if the quality was better. What I mean is, GREAT idea, I wish I would have thought of it. His suit and the seat fabric are way to busy. His face, and well everything is out of focus
