Challenge: Wings (Advanced Editing V)
Collection: Challenges
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di for Canon
Location: Ayden's bedroom
Date: Aug 19, 2007
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/640
Galleries: Emotive, Children
Date Uploaded: Aug 19, 2007

 Shot in Ayden's bedroom late afternoon using natural light. He's a little over nine months old so you can imagine the challenge it was to get him to wear the wings and hold still. I just had to snap away. I believe I took around 30 shots to get this.

Pretty much straight out of camera. Adjusted levels, unsharp mask, slight dodge, and border.

Very good portrait, I like the tilted angle and the usage of natural light is perfect.

Excellent lighting technique, I like the composition/angle. Good expression. The only flaw is the bottom of the bed you can see on the right, but nothing major.

Too cute - wonderful expression! Backlighting works nicely here, you must have had a tough time choosing which to enter... << 8 >>

Beautiful! This would have done well in backlighting too! I love the rug which imitates the softness of the wings and the babies hair. Too cute!

This is adorable - you've captured beautiful natural backlight (at least it looks natural - if it's not, then you've done better than I think!) and the baby has the sweetest look. Nice and soft, and the slight angle gives it an extra, little something. Great job!

The hair...the backlighting on the hair is great.

a nice back-lit shot. the expression on kid's face is precious.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cute baby pic. Wings look a little odd. I think the backlighting overemphasizes the inside of the apparatus.

cute...great backlighting...the bed in the bg is distracting and the legs cropped, but otherwise very cute
