My son Dade. 5 years old.
This is my first attempt at using the NeatImage thing. I'm impressed. This is probably my most highly edited pic ever submitted. I cloned out some tree bark dust from his dark shirt, brightness/contrast, cropped and neat image. I know, I know...not really a lot of editing, but more than I've done in the past. I know it doesn't hold a candle to labuda, joey, heida, etc... but I'm damn proud. lol

a bit too much blur (in post processing?), especially on the arm, not so sure about the face - the hair looks great, natural texture. Too much of a "mall studio portrait" for my taste. The background works very well, but the kid's too soft - he's a great looking boy! no need to "polish" him this way.
Otherwise: good lighting, nice expression and pose. The T-shirt's color seems a little overwhelming. Different color (not solid, brighter?) or different crop (same width, cut off the bottom and make it square?) might have helped.
