 A shot from 1 minute shooting between breakfast and the departure to the kindergarten. I Didn't had more time, because we are too late in every morning and my son was highly interested in the seed of a maple. He tried to touch it all the time. Just used the available light from a window - so I had to choose ISO 800 and a 1/15sec shutterspeed (no tripod).

PP: removed some distracting elements, levels, partial desaturation, some burning and dodging to accentuate the eyes, cropped, rezised, USM, 1px border, saved for web

How precious! Beautifully done - B&W with the contrasting seed works well here IMO. Great sharp focus on the wonder filled eyes. Back to bump to 8.

Love the eyes! Not sure the selective desat serves this picture well - maybe leave some color in his face to go with it.
