When I was three or four yrs. old, I had a friend named, Vickie, who was a couple yrs. older than me. I remember laying on the floor on a Saturday morning watching cartoons and reading a book with the ABC's. I know it was a Saturday because back in those days, cartoons were only broadcast on Saturday mornings. I moved when I was five and I never saw my little friend again.
My models are my granddaughters, Marisa and Lela.
Processing: HDR from a single RAW, (I'm just experimenting with HDR, so I don't really know what I'm doing)open in CS2, adjust brightness/contrast, selective color, hue/sat, save. Open in Paint Shop Pro and adjust Clarify. (I love this), save. Open back up in CS2, clone out imperfections, do some dodging and burning. I think that's it.

I really like the processing on this. It kind of gives it a 70s feel without looking dated (if that makes any sense). I think it's all the browns that make me think that lol. I love the patterned carpet. It's so cute to see the two of them just sitting and reading. Congrats on the top 10!
I'm on an anti-HDR kick right now, but this a cool shot. I wasn't thinking about how the HDR makes this look like an illustration from the 60s. Another example of a DPC voter not giving a photo enough thought! (luckily, most of the other voters outsmarted me)
Yeah, TOP TEN! Congratulations, Terry. Wonderful shot, I don't know why I only gave it a 9. I love the processing. I hope you will write that up in the photog. comments.
