Image processed using trial version of Adobe Lightroom.
Image cropped and adjustments made to highlights, shadows and "vibrancy" until the desired effect was achieved.
Finished off in Corel Paintshop pro photoXI ..image resized, slight distractions removed with clone tool and sharpened.
First time I`ve entered an image of my son in any challenge.
Originally,entered this in the "High Contrast" challenge with the highlights slightly blown..but my wife reckoned it was better toned down and with the slight distractions removed..so I did what I was told.

Wow, great composition, amazing colors, love the rain on the window. I am not sure about the width or color of the frame but that is a personal preference.
this is a beautiful portrait, G. your son is such a doll (like his dad!) and those eyes are amazing. nice work, hon...keep listening to your wife! :) *hugs*
I think this is the best portrait shot inthe challenge. Great detail and interesting looking model enhanced by the flow of water on the glass. Very nice. Bumping up.
Nice work with the composition and cropping. I like how the water is streaming down the window and the use of negative space. Wish he was wearing something darker as the white detracts a bit from the mood. I think I would desaturate this, too.
The border detracts from this shot. I think it would have been best without one. I think you had a great idea here and did a great job bringing it to print.
