This is a great shot - generally speaking I really like the processing - unfortunately it leaves your son's face looking a bit green too. Though this was a basic editing challenge wasn't it ? .... Congratulations

Thanks to everyone for their comments and appreciation of this photo. I am thrilled with my first ribbon here. I was doing some photography work for a local golf course and decided to take my clubs and son (Ben - 3 yrs old) along with me. After taking enough photos of the course I decided to take a few practice golf shots. Ben looked cute on the green so I loaded him up with what I knew would be too many balls to hang on to and grabbed my camera. He didn't even know I was taking photos of him. I got a lot of nice shots from that day.
Steps:
Remove Noise
High Pass Sharpen
Resized to 1500
Changed Hue
Curves
Resized to 640
Sharpend
No cropping or rotating.
Thanks Again,
Brian

This is just fabulous. So many elements that you go just right. The only negative is the skin tones went a little green too - but hard to fix within basic editing.

Back to comment. I bumped you up...my favorite in the challenge. So cute and sweetly green. 9 - not a 10 because his skin is a little green. Nice job.

I love this shot. The tones, the DOF and the child's focus on the dropped ball combine to make this a great shot - 10.

Nice work, though the skin tones aren't very good. You didn't tint the photo to match the contest at the cost of your subject did you?

Ya know... I'm not a golf fan. I'm not a fan of golf shots. But this is just spectacular. Your editing is superb and the comp is exquisite. Top notch stuff. Well done. One of only a couple of 10s I'm giving out in this challenge.
