My son in front of his window. He didn't want to smile!
Processing included using a NeatImage type program (ISOX-Pro for Mac)--his freckles would not go into b/w easily! Once it was smoother, selected the background and darkened it while there were colors to select. I converted to b/w with the channel mixer. Then I selectively dodged and sharpened his eyes and slightly increased contrast. Finally, I burned the shoulder on the left because it was just a bit too bright and distracted from his face.

cliche...but still excellent image, its good you choice black and white medium here, it really works great here, nice expression, what a powerful look, i do like the shadows, lines and patterns, EXCELLENT WORK AND GOOD LUCK.. YOU DESERVE A RIBBON HERE.
I love this picture! Light stripes are an usual effect in model photographing, - but the way the are brought into the child's face here, is rather brilliant. An exciting and well done portrait. Congratulations!
A very Serious Owen! Love the varied tones. While in general, I llke these blind shots for some reason, IMHO, it does not fit with owen. But that is only my opinion. BOL
Serious young man! I like the shadows, light and focus. Not crazy for the 'neat image' or what ever was used. Un-natural looking. Good entry and I hope you do well.
good job. i did a pic like this on my 5 year old daughter(35mm) and it turned out great. the blinds just add more emotion and depth to the whole picture good job!!
