This is a great shot - generally speaking I really like the processing - unfortunately it leaves your son's face looking a bit green too. Though this was a basic editing challenge wasn't it ? .... Congratulations

Thanks to everyone for their comments and appreciation of this photo. I am thrilled with my first ribbon here. I was doing some photography work for a local golf course and decided to take my clubs and son (Ben - 3 yrs old) along with me. After taking enough photos of the course I decided to take a few practice golf shots. Ben looked cute on the green so I loaded him up with what I knew would be too many balls to hang on to and grabbed my camera. He didn't even know I was taking photos of him. I got a lot of nice shots from that day.

Steps:
Remove Noise
High Pass Sharpen
Resized to 1500
Changed Hue
Curves
Resized to 640
Sharpend

No cropping or rotating.

Thanks Again,
Brian

Very nice composition. And I've always been a fan of this desaturated look.

Great picture. I love it...brings back memories of gathering golf balls for my Dad. A 10 for me !!

Oh, wow! What a gorgeous shot of a gorgeous subject! Adorable. :-D
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/11/2006 02:02:32 AM
This is just fabulous. So many elements that you go just right. The only negative is the skin tones went a little green too - but hard to fix within basic editing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/10/2006 06:40:21 PM
really sweet shot, great composition DOF and POV!! bumping up

I'm not voting on this challenge, but if I were this would be my 1ST choice! Great job, I love this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/09/2006 08:01:12 PM
Good shot. I'd like to see a little more saturation to make the green stand out.

06/09/2006 11:18:34 AM
A charming well composed and exposed with a great finsih. Top notch!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/09/2006 09:39:29 AM
Great photo. Looks a tad over sharpened though.

I like this
Great idea and nice crisp image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/08/2006 09:58:43 PM
Great shot. The pastel look of the colors and slight green tint make it look almost like a hand colored B&W print.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/08/2006 06:53:47 PM
Back to comment. I bumped you up...my favorite in the challenge. So cute and sweetly green. 9 - not a 10 because his skin is a little green. Nice job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/08/2006 05:59:34 PM
Oh, that's really cute.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/08/2006 01:16:45 PM
I love this shot. The tones, the DOF and the child's focus on the dropped ball combine to make this a great shot - 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/08/2006 10:46:55 AM
Very lovely and interesting portrait. Touching and creative. The extra green tone adds to the whole concept giving the photo a softness yet the detail remains.Very sweet.10

This is just adorable!! Adding to my favourites!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/08/2006 06:56:37 AM
Very Cute. The only thing missing from this being a classic would be him looking slightly up fo you could catch his eyes on that ball. Great Shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/08/2006 01:13:36 AM
Nice work, though the skin tones aren't very good. You didn't tint the photo to match the contest at the cost of your subject did you?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/07/2006 10:49:21 PM
Ya know... I'm not a golf fan. I'm not a fan of golf shots. But this is just spectacular. Your editing is superb and the comp is exquisite. Top notch stuff. Well done. One of only a couple of 10s I'm giving out in this challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/07/2006 10:29:36 PM
I really like this. The composition, the post editing really works, yet it isn't so over the top that it's not believable. Really well done. 8

I'm absolutely not into childrens pictures, but this one has a nice mood and lovely tones, good composition. A bit oversharpened though - grass looks pixelated - 8
