painted back some of the layer masks to pull back blown out highlights.
Post Challenge thanks for all of the great comments! This was shot in a windowed patio at a restaurant--the lighting was really nice. I learned a lot about diffused lighting shooting in that environment. Look for this baby in a lot of my shots!

Glad this one came up in the queue for me. I really enjoyed this shot. Great clean detail, nice DOF, fun moment captured, b&w conversion is spot on. I expected this to score over 6 (you were close). Maybe the main issue for voters was that it was more of a candid than an image of a specific body part. Personally I think you met the challenge, but other voters can be stinkers. For me, I find it a great image. A keeper for sure.
this was a great shot in the challenge- i raed it on the higher-end of the 1-10 scale -the lighting is just great, and its a wonderful 'candid' (I adore it because it reminds me of something my daughter does with my father, grabbing his nose, and or pointing at his eyes) spectacular image, great job!
