Isaac asked me to move the light so he vould explore his navel. I said OK so long as I could have the camera ready to record any surprising discoveries.
Used incandescent light along with onboard flash; put my hand in front of the flash unit to diffuse the light a little, which gave it a reddish cast, so I converted to to a duotone instead.

This isn't very surprising overall but the shot is well done. The colors work well for this shot and I like the set up, the upper right is a tad blown out, started at 6, moving to an 8
Nice use of negative space, it works really well here. The color tones you have chosen look great. I don't like the light at the top right of the photo, I think I would have cropped it off.
Tickles? Pretty cute belly with that rim of pants showing. I like the sepia tone - warm and flesh-like. Wish the fingernail was clean, and the texture of the skin is a bit flat. Still nicely done, show thought.
you found a perfect entry for the scents/aromas challenge? belly buttons if not kept up, realllly start to smell funny... go ahead.. rub your index finger around as deep as you can and take a whiff.. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.
Gotta love when kids find their belly button. This would have been a 9 from me, but the dirt under the kids fingernail is so genuine, it gets a 10. Great lighting and toning!
