shot with available light from his desk lamp and a bedside lamp.
i edit all my images with gimp and this one has a texture called "old photo" from Jeremy Brotherton.
ETA: 20 comments and no one mentioned the glare of the metal bit of the pencil! :) yay! i'm glad it wasn't a dstraction. i was pretty worried about that.
I like the light on his face. Not sure if Gimp has layers, but maybe you could process it twice to get more detail in the paper. Either way, very nice use of available light, looking forward to more entries.
I like the reflected light on his face and also like the composition. Very difficult shot with the bright light and dark shadows so this is well exposed. Parentl pride shines through!
the use of the lamplight is a great idea and if you could have defused it a little more the lighting would have been just brilliant instead of great :)
oh the texture is really cool here. i like how the shadow reveals the lines on the paper. the light and texture kick this every-day-life kind of photo up to a new level. good for him for sitting and doing his work lol
