I used light meter (first time ever) to get correct exposure and I was placed about 2m below and about 10m away. I didn’t processed it very much. What I did was I processed it from RAW to TIF and then I used G-Channel in PS to make it Bl/Wh. Then I added USM filter to it to sharpen it a little bit, cropped a bit and enlarged the canavas with black for fill-in color. I used the eraser tool to make the white border.
Hope I will get some points :=)

Like the positioning within the frame, and the expressions on all three make this "comfort" photo very believable. Nice composition. Like the borders. 6
Lovely B&W and beautiful family. I think it may have been better if it looked like Mom was comforting them after getting a boo-boo, or wiping a tear? Just a suggestion.
