perfect and oh so cute. I would love to know how you got this effect. All my shots of my boys in the tub are not looking like this that's for sure. Very nicely done!
I bet the "Too Much NI" votes are getting you a little. Perhaps using the Gaussian blur would have been better. But that said I love the image and expression and the hairdo. 6
